The Family Crest: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2014
- There's a decent chance you're about to discover your favorite new band. Based in San Francisco and led by Liam McCormick, The Family Crest builds its songs from a combination of infectious enthusiasm and powerful talent. The group owes its huge sound not just to its seven members, but to the community that records and plays with them. Eighty people are credited on The Family Crest's first album, Beneath the Brine.At the Tiny Desk, we heard from seven players with training in classical and jazz, as well as instruments including violin, cello, upright bass, flute, trombone, drums, guitar and McCormick's voice. And what a voice: Trained as an opera singer but with a hunger for jazz, he's one of those fortunate souls with plenty to express and the range to deliver. The three songs performed here give you a sense of what The Family Crest can do, though Beneath the Brine is what you'll want to hear once your jaw has dropped watching this.
Set List:
"Beneath The Brine"
"Howl"
"Make Me A Boat"

@@kathyhollenbach7413 their drummer in this video is Charlie Giesege (i may be spelling that wrong)!
Yes that is me
anthony franceschi is a masterful anthony franceschi player
Beneath the Brine is SUCH a good song. Watching them play it live was a treat.
I can't go through my day without hearing Beneath the Brine in my head.
This remains the best performance I've ever seen by any band ever ever. Blows my mind every single time
This, and St. Paul and the Broken Bones are definitely the best performances on NPR! Cheers!!
@@MynameisKyle99I'm also a big fan of both the Superorganism and Mother Falcon performances. YMMV with Hobo Johnson but I loved it. Also Andrew Bird. I could recommend stuff all day, sorry.
Same here! 💯 I have now seen St. Paul and the Broken Bones a dozen times. Every single show is f_ck!n@ awesome! I can't wait to see the Family Crest!
Phenomenal
Don't get me wrong... Been listening to this since the day it dropped... But best ever? Uhhhhhhhh... You need to hear more good music. Plenty of painful off-key moments here. Just the facts.
I'm still blown away by the diversity of sound here. You guys put together something really amazing
Oh, oh my. I am completely smashed by that first song. It is so beautiful, so moving. I felt like my heart would stop. What singing! What a voice! What feeling! I know it's a trope but it brought tears to my eyes. The band is incredible. Talk about a tight sound. It was like listening to a studio production (in the good way). Everything came together perfectly. Wow, what arrangements. This is a world class band. I am going to purchase whatever they have put out.
NPR Tiny Desk Concerts have become a pillar of my life right now. Where I would be without these introductions....
Nate Bodie i almost thumbz down to be hip but i was hiper
Same!
Always find musical gems on the NPR Tiny Desk series like Beirut, Mother Falcon, Family Crest, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, and Los Hacheros!
De France...entièrement d'accord avec toi
Add in there Moonhooch for me. I think "Orginized Choas" Should be a category.
new favorite band, amazing dynamic shifts, godly singer with really funny expressions, huge sound, jazz and folk infuences, all pulled together with quality classical musicianship.
Agree so much, but i really dont hear the jazz influences.
The second tune is much more jazz-influenced, and that trombone at the beginning is a straight up jazz sound, as far as I can tell. I do hear more classical and folk influence most of the time, though.
Yasss❗ Transferring~Transfixing~TranScending~ExtraSuperLuminous~Tremendous~GR8LYLOSTINTHISNEVER2BFOUND🔮 I AM IN LOVE 💛💜❤🌈
Omg, I just realized there are no background vocals but it’s so layered and textured, just gorgeous. 😍 These guys are unbelievable!
You can see so much passion and expression in his eyes when he's singing, my sister showed this to me, and I'm really glad she did.
Hand to God - this beauty makes we want to shed a happy tear for us humans. We suck so much, so often, and then THIS happens.
This set still holds up. AMAZING!!!
Tiny Desk is one of the best things that has happened to music.
My man looks like hes cosplaying as a Bard from DnD and absolutely killing it!
The whispering in Howl makes my life. 9:40
this band has all things that are good. No need for genre-fication just plain high quality musical expertise and natural talent at its best. And i tip my hat to mccormick and the rest of the family crest. most definitely cannot die before seeing them live
Love this mans voice crazy
Why am I hearing this for the first time?! My life is changed! Thank YOU!
HOW I never heard this before!?!? Awesome!
I know I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Reece Kairo Flixportal xD
@Orlando Aiden thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!
@Reece Kairo no problem xD
This is my absolute favorite Tiny Desk. I love this set. It's amazing. You played for 18.16 minutes, but I have listened to it 100+ times. Thank you.
My God there's some talented young people around
Vocals are crazy solid.
I thought same, He definitely tuned those pipes
This is a damn good band. I heard them Live at BFD and I loved the energy. Hope people can appreciate the variation in instruments that this group brings.
I'm ona drink NPR tiny desk concert binge and these guys are my favorite so far
This is a band I suspect I will be devotedly following for years to come. There's something about it that is exactly what i want in my music. Thank you very much for this gem.
Crying while listening. Good!
All three songs feel like getting slapped in the face on both cheeks with something lovely after a lazy summers morning dream.. Intense is the only word i find adequate.
That song ' Make me a boat' still moves me after so many years ! What a performance.
My original favorite Mother Falcon may be on pause for a little while, but I still have a place in my heart for their friends of Family Crest. Remember when they toured together. Brilliant!!!
Liam in my opinion is the driving force behind this impressive band. Even on his own he would be just as awe-inspiring.
+vampcaff Yeah, his voice is pretty incredible.
there is a video of just him performing Beneath The Brine (the first song)!
TBH I dont like the recorded songs too much, they are way more jazzy but this Tiny Disk concert is unbelievably good. To me it feels more like rock or even metal played with acoustic instruments. Reminds me of System of a down with its ups and downs of loudness and calmness. Totally love it!
great to see a band with so many different instruments come together so awesomely. this is a rare jewel.
Beneath the Brine is so God Damn epiccccccccccccccccccccccccc
This is seriously some of the best NPR tiny desk hands down!
I think this one of the best concerts in NPR.
I just stumbled upon and I'm blown away in the first 5 minutes. Incredible so far.
Yep. As soon as the singer opened his mouth, my heart leapt into mine. Wow
Nothing is ever original in the world, what we do is taking elements from anywhere and take it a bit further through what we have in our experiences. I like their energy!
What would I be listening to without NPR...thanks. Great music!!
You guys need to have The Dear Hunter on here asap
Jesse Bout I wholeheartedly agree
Yes!!!!
This is a comment I can stand behind. Go TDH!
I saw two of the dates where they toured with TDH. It was an amazing couple of nights of music.
The first two minutes make me so happy every time. That is some powerful music.
Seeing it performed live helps me appreciate the style. I enjoy this concert a lot!
Trombone player is GOOD as in talented, and quite handsome!
I'm here in 2019 wondering if Liam is a Muse fan. The line in Beneath The Brine "It burns like this sun" is the same melody as the same line from Muse's song Sunburn. Also, Liam shares an obvious love for Spanish influences and for falsetto, much like Matt Bellamy.
Keep coming back to this every now and then. Absolutely beautiful! That awkward hug at the end tho..
11:50 the bassist's weird nervous laugh, when you don't get the joke but everyone else does so you try to fit in.
lel
hahaha This is something I would do.
personally trained at The Jack Black School Of Rock & RoLL Drama hats off to this groups awesomeness great great great singer
Yes! The jack black faces he makes when he hits the high notes😂
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you. Can't wait to see you live
I heard about these guys about a month ago, and I love them. They have subtlety and energy simultaneously, and the contrast between the two is great. Plus, they're orchestral indie, so the sound is so full and gorgeous.
These guys are fantastic! Love the trombone!
just amazing, i can't get enough.
These guys are so good, I've just recently found them again and I'm so happy!
I absolutely adored this, it was unique. I am definitely going to keep my eyes out for these guys in the future.
Love it! What a voice - so much passion! Great instrumentalists! Thank you!
