Landlady: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

- Oct. 6, 2017 | Bob Boilen -- Landlady's music is more than sonic exploration, it's an adventure. The Brooklyn-based band's songs are the initial creation of leader Adam Schatz, who observes the world with fresh, almost alien eyes. The songs can feel a bit drugged-out - a bit high and full of curiosity - but never overly intoxicated or out-of-touch.
The opening track for Landlady's Tiny Desk performance, "Cadaver," has its origins in a friend of Schatz's who went to medical school, and the years she spent examining a single cadaver over and over and even more specifically about a tattoo on that cadaver's buttocks.
Landlady is also a band of brilliant musicians who carefully craft their playing to serve the songs. Each player on their own might seem to be making quirky sounds or playing odd rhythms, but together they create head-turning tunes.
For their Tiny Desk Concert they came in as a foursome but also recruited the Washington D.C. string quartet, Rogue Collective to flesh-out their sound on the third song, "Electric Abdomen." That cut, which seems to be about being uncomfortable in your own skin, sounds like it came from a long-lost tape from The Beatles during a session for Abbey Road, full of wonder and, like this Tiny Desk performance, worth digging deep into.

Adam Schatz you guys are really refreshing and fantastic. I hadn’t heard y’all before this, and now I’ve just finished watching this for the third time in a row. Guess it’s time to go buy everything you’ve ever made.
Awesome music and incredible performances aside, I feel that I should also add that you are one hella funny dude as well. And just so you know, unlike the rest of the RUclips masses, my opinion MATTERS.
I approve of all of your instincts!
been quite some time since I discovered your band and music. I adore it. Love from the Philippines.
Your music is such an amazing thing in this life. Thanks :)
This remains, to this day, my favorite Tiny Desk performance and my favorite band I have discovered through NPR
Agreed! Really glad NPR showed them to me
Still enjoying this in 2022!
This is real music. Interesting sounds. I listened thru the entire video, which I don't usually do. The reason why, is because I could not predict the rest of the song from the beginning. So many songs are predictable. I'd follow this band. Real musicians. The harmonies. The string arrangements. He reminds me of Donald Fagen. My favorite Tiny Desk performance as far back as I can remember. Good job NPR!!!
I know right! I adore this band so very much. Every piece is absolutely stunning. So glad they've been brought to NPR
Yes, I was also hearing The Dan!
This drummer is fucking excellent
Tony- Atkinson This fucking drummer is fucking excellent*
Wow. What a great soung quality. It´s like a cd.
IAN CHANG
LOUIE ZONG
Love your stuff too, man.
love the setup of having percussion front/center, really interesting dynamic
Seems like quite the interesting fellow this Adam Schatz. I dig his music and weird candid stage (desk) presence.
I'm so lucky to have found this band. Went to a Buke & Gase concert because of an r/listentothis suggestion. Loved them. Went again. Landlady was the opener. I got to discover two brilliantly innovative bands because someone shared a link. Everyone should share this TDC with their friends!
So great to see these guys on Tiny Desk/NPR. These tunes are from their last record "The World Is A Loud Place," which has found a near-permanent home on my turntable.
Those are some wicked lookin drum brushes.
Michael Polland they’re called percussion broomsticks
They sound really nice for this setting, too!
yes it's very nice
I feel like I owe NPR something lol. They've introduced me to some life changing music.
No way dude. the gubment pays fo' it. Is this band name a Physch reverence? Parking lot cajun drum Bjorklee grads, dig it
Just Jro They sell some cool shirts on their store which will directly support them and maybe introduce your friends as well.
I love NPR Tiny desk concerts!!!
Just Jro they introduced me to Car Seat Headrest so it seems like I owe my life to them in a way.
I don't always love them, but when I do- it's f'n magical. I'd say like 1/5 is really special, and you can usually tell immediately.
Saw these guys on tour with Okkervil River earlier this year. Amazing live show. One of the best drummers I've ever seen
love that short scale bass. great tone.
top 3 tiny desk energies of all time for me
Omg, so good taste! I instantly fell in love with these people! I'm so grateful for the oportunity to meet them! TY, NPR!
These guys are so awesome. Real nice dudes. Hope they get out near me again soon.
The staff of NPR are the luckiest people in the world!
Shout out to Car Talk!! Unexpected, but i love it.
I will pass on from this earth happily knowing that music is in good hands.
Absolute fire. I came across "Solid Brass" on Radio K here in Minneapolis and was immediately in love. Truly unique and just straight-up GREAT music :) Thanks for the inspiration Landlady
Landlady has been one of my favourite bands for such a long time. Loved every rendition of their song, and I especially loved electric abdomen with the string quartet!
The Drum... Is Ian Chang :D member of the band: Son lux.... Listen his new song! Dream State!
Natán A. M. Estrella thanks for the info!
That voice!! Amazing performance!
Easily my favourite this year! Awesome band and sounds!
This is something! Been scanning through all your videos, tiny desk... lots of pretty good stuff for sure, but this is a step above, and according to stats, quite underrated... what shame...
I can't like this more than once, so I'm going to comment and like that!
These guys are amazing. The modern day Steely Dan.
I am in love with that Epiphone.
These guys are great live!
That first song, seriously, what's just happened to me. I think that's the best feeling I've had to a song for many many years, and I've heard a lot of great stuff over the years. That was just unbelievably fresh.
Fwob felt that about the second one
duuuuude felt same way listening to this as i did talking heads david byrne yearss back..different..fresh..unique..original as fuck
after the first song
In case you were wondering, they are pretty fucking awesome live, aaaaand seem like decent humans. ♡♡♡

Saw these guys open for Okkervil River about a year and a half ago. I liked them so much, I bought their album (which had beautiful artwork, by the way).
Oh yeah, smooth sounds. Love the green guitar strap.

Digging the drums

This feels like traditional Tiny Desk music.
