The best bit. Bloc party does this on a more minimalist scale. But yeah, two guys, one brain. Have been kinda disappointed that no one ever asks them about this, or that they seem to downplay and obscure where that shit comes from whenever anyone hints at it
@@PolyQuasi Too many people focus on the notation speed or transitions and not enough on structure like that. I agree, it's one of the biggest reasons I keep CHON in my top lists for bands.
+Tony Akawari I thought these guys were Japanese at first, because you know if anyone can do jazz like this. It's Japan no arguing there lol. But these kids give me hope because i love jazz and i'm an American.

+Chris Bozelli leading statement. i'm sure Dao realizes this.(clues to this could be in the last portion of his sentence "and i'm an American") Jazz popularized in Japan around the time of the US's military occupation. why did 'swing' catch on? because of 'feel', or 'having heart'.(modern examples such as toe the band) this is also relative to african society and black/african american people/culture, as well as being pervasive in Japanese culture for relative reasons. Similarly, what is displayed here via CHON. if you've ever made music, or rather necessarily anything, but, i would say very 'visceral' in music. not sure of the words, but music made via feel always conveys this thing similarly and has a 'masterwork' quality to it. and of coarse, should be 'expected' as a true expression of the soul/spirit/self. Yes i realize this is 'way out in left field'. however, you have to either understand something like what i said, or its not for you, thats just how it is, no hard feelings or whatever.
This drumming is awesome; those ghost notes remind me of Matt Garstka (Animals as Leaders). That's a really sick guitar part at 1:27. Cool band and great song, too! These guys have "it."
Mister Crowley How fucking dare you typing those five letters from your filthy keyboard and post them on a CHON video; you should be ashamed of yourself.
Nah man it's cool I'm just projecting my own self-loathing and hatred for myself onto other people on the internet whom I'll never meet; but I really do hate djent.
Kilgore Trout Never got it how people can hate djent. We are talking about that Animals as Leaders, TesseracT, Periphery, Monuments, Vildhjarta, Textures-music, aren't we? How can one hate that?
I forgot I had shazammed these guys sometime ago. Finally decided to give them an actual listen. It like this amped up mix of progressive, jazz fusion, and rock. So good.
you guys are everything I love about music.so groovy, so funky, you make me feel like I'm playing Sonic on sega or like I'm gonna run a million miles to the stars. I don't know....keep making good music, you guys know what you're doin :)
2:08 to 2:38 I never knew I could feel so many different emotions in just 30 seconds of music. I feel exhausted after listening to that part just cause at how quick the moods shift.
YES! This music video is perfect! I love the underproduced feel it makes it so fun and relatable. This is a perfect visual to Chon's music this is how you guys make me feel when I'm down! Well I'm off to go paint some guitars in the sun now..
I didn't know CHON was still around. I stumbled upon their demo maybe 6 or 7 years ago and loved it. Congrats CHON, glad to see you're still kicking and making groovy music.
daym man, you just sounded like one hell of an elitist twat xD Can't you just be glad some people will see that comment and discover that magnificient band that is Toe ? Didn't know about The Fall of Troy tho', just checked and it sounds great
Opik-oort Nubem ... You should read the following sentence quietly to yourself and meditate on it, "If I don't have anything nice to say, I won't say anything at all". Sometimes it's better, for us and yourself, to refrain from opening one's mouth so as to stop the outward flow of negative energy. Sounds mad 'hippy-like' and shit but it really helps to better your life (mind, body and spirit) and to not pollute other people's personal environment. Before you get mad or defensive, sit and read what I just said at least 3 times. If you still have the urge to attack me verbally, then be my guest. Have a nice day.
87 of these dislikes are drew because they kicked him out. He made 87 separate accounts, Disliked this song, then He threw his bass away and threw a little paint on it.
