Flock of Dimes: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Stephen Thompson | Aug, 10, 2021
Flock of Dimes may be a "solo" project for Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner, but she couldn't pass up an opportunity to invite a few friends over. You'll spot their familiar faces all over this video: Mountain Man's Amelia Randall Meath, Molly Sarlé and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, percussionist Matthew McCaughan from Bon Iver... you even get full attendance from Sylvan Esso, given that Meath is seated alongside her partner Nick Sanborn. (He doesn't play in the set, but he did co-produce Flock of Dimes' latest album, so Wasner asked him to sit in and bring a book to read.)
The result is a communal set - filmed at Sylvan Esso's new studio in Durham, N.C., called Betty's - that doesn't merely re-create three of the songs from this year's Head of Roses. These acoustic performances actually shed new light, thanks to radiant and radically different arrangements, while fully capturing the warmth we look for from Tiny Desk concerts. (Plus, with nine people in the frame, it's a cast large enough that when they clap between songs, they almost sound like a crowd.)

the symmetry of the left handed and right handed guitarists framing her is really nice
Jenn Wasner is such a magnificent artist
I had no idea she had other bands other than Wye Oak. So this was a nice find!
@@NicolaiMarquez she also joined Bon Iver a handful of years ago
Lead singer has so much control over her voice it’s insane! Love this whole performance 🔥
This is possibly the best Tiny Desk (home) concert of all time. These arrangements are sublime. Head of Roses has been my favorite album of the year. Thanks for this!
It's weird that they've perfectly captured the vibe of just a group of friends having fun together, but with the skill and finish of a group of professional musicians. I mean, I suppose those things aren't mutually exclusive, to be professional musicians and to have fun with your friends, but I just mean it's so rare to see those two things at once, like in this performance.
my thoughts exactly!!
it's rare to see people being themselves isn't it? even with camera crew and things to remember. That Durham Crew of Artists is a beautiful thing.
Sandy just chilling with the group for moral support, or maybe their own enjoyment is amazing. Thank you sandy.
Haha I noticed this too. Love it.
And this is Sandy on the novel
he is mouthing the lyrics. makes it so perfect
Love Bon Iver’s drummer ! What a great collective here. The Triangle seems awesome
It's a good spot.
I love how Amelia is watching you the whole time. Must admire and care for you greatly, so lovely. Such a beautiful collaboration by all, I love this album and the live performance even more so. Thank you x
I noticed that as well. Just lovely.
Big fan of the Wye Esso Cinematic Universe
gosh, one of the best TD's ever imo. just stunning
They just have Sylvan Esso sitting there casually omg
Jenn’s songwriting is simply off the charts. Thanks you for a beautiful concert!
It's true! They aren't on any charts.
Just kidding. :D
@@snowstrobe hahaha, true!
The amount of musical talent in this room is unreal! 🤘♥
looks like everyone is relaxed, and enjoying their time...which is nice...
This reminds me of the Roches in the best way possible. How blessed are we to still have fantastic music makers in this era? You just have to know where to look and where to listen.
Here's the correct setlist:
0:00 "Two"
4:19 "Price of Blue"
11:55 "Awake for the Sunrise"
Thank you!
Price of Blue is such an amazing song. Definitely a highlight of the year and so far the decade.
I remember the first time I saw her live she was performing with Bon Iver! I became a fan instantly! She's soooo talented!!
Wanna be friends with all these people. This is Heaven
I'm not surprised how amazing this is, literally everything this crew puts out is heart wrenchingly beautiful and inspiring... What I am surprised about is how casually Nick is just chilling in the midst of the magic while catching up on some reading.
Love this Jenn project/band and this is a beautiful performance. Couldn’t click the link fast enough.
Perfection.
Love seeing all of Mountain Man in this session!
Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that I've been sober for 687 days.
I’ll have a drink to that!
Good for you sir. Proud of you. Keep it up.
Proud of you 🤍
as someone who’s struggling i’m so proud of you
Hey thats amazing for you congrats
love when there are performances with lots of people playing and singing. really nice
Sort of reminds me of Joni Mitchell. Very soothing and sensitive music. Thank you ☆
oh those Mountain Man harmonies make this set so delicious! So in love with this collective!
the energy here is impeccable
It's now much further into 2021 and I stand by the comment I posted when these songs were first released, I'm almost certain this is going to be my favorite album of the year.
I love how they are cheering each other
I absolutely love flock of dimes
Thank you for the music. I love the setting. Such a lovely, great vibe.
We are so lucky in the Triangle to be surrounded by such brilliant musicians 🥲
100%
Happy to see you here! Really takes me back
This makes me long to be back in North Carolina ever so badly. In this is captured the spirit, beauty, and depth of those ever flowing rolling hills, the majestic trees soaring in great heights, and such kind and warm people. One day I will return to this beautiful land.
gorgeous voices.... gorgeous music..... this morning is good 😇🙏🏽
I really love the tenor guitar! Fantastic music all!
13:30 Was vibing with the lovely song, then had to chuckle because of the poster
Yay!!! I was about to sleep but now I’m definitely watching this. So wonderful :)
Beautiful Jenn ❤ Amazing TDC. ✨✨
I really like the way she talk, and the atmosphere created by this band! Amazing!
Their voices are so soothing. 🙏🏿🔥
I really didn’t want this to end. ❤️
❤️this album and this tiny desk! Lots of my fav performers in there 👀
album made my year, this vid def made my month!
So great, would love a Wye Oak tiny desk!
pretty sure there is a really really old one. It's not posted any more but if you search tiny desk and wye oak clips from it still show up. Not sure why NPR unlists really old tiny desk concerts but there's quite a few I remember that I don't see posted any more.
lol golf clap. love it
Ben Howard followed by Jenn and the WITH band. Great start to the week
Absolutely beautiful
Even Will Ferrell doesn't distract from this loveliness.
Never heard them before but how relaxing
On everything
sylvan esso and mountain man are in this collective. 11/10 recommend deep dives on both. 😍
Nice acoustics! And funny man reading)))
how can anyone not like a video as wonderful as this one?
An amazing.... beautiful sound to start my day. 👏👏👏
What a gift. Loving all of you!
I haven't heard of this group but I'm going to check you out tonight. I'm putting this on my watch later list.💯 Detroit love
Check out wye oak too, that's her main project before she formed flock of dimes
Just what I needed to see and hear today, thank you.
Magical Mood and Music!!!!!!
Lefty playing with strings upside down at :31
Pretty cool.. ive seen this in deathcore bands .
Cool to see this style in another genre
Super beautiful sound! I love every part of it
I just discovered flock of dimes but this has me hooked
A few Sylvan Esso party goers too I see. Great video. Great sounds.
I like this alot better than the studio recorded versions. If i could buy and download this i would
Out now!
Beautiful.
The timing on these songs tho... Amazing 🎷💙🎷💙🎷.... Her singing is inspirational 👌🧡👌💙👌🧡👌
Been wondering why flock of dimes haven't appeared in Tiny desk yet, now here she is!
Who is Nick? What ever. Its peaceful shining and flooding my sooul. Yes thats it, a good time to relaxed! Happy greetings from good old germany...
He's the producer of Sylvan Esso
Grand Rise East Coast This was simply beautiful by the way im the 88th like. Have a bless rest of the year
Awesome work . You guys do some great stuff together. Keep up Jenn Amelia and Nick. Y'all are great. Side note I had no idea Matt was the drummer for Bon Iver.
Love FOD, love Jenn, love Tiny Desk! This is so lovely
Such amazing songwriting. :)
There's no denying they're all high. Good high stuff.
Gorgeous
Lucky they have a lefthanded guitarist so they can play symmetrically :) Looks good
Lucky you're not playing guitar for them 😁😁😁
Mmmmmmmm symmmetry
the lefty didn’t restring his guitar (ala middle kids)
@@TeddyLovesBacon BAZINGA! HA!
Lol
hermoso!
Killer harmonies!!
This is just beautiful.
new life goal: see Flock of Dimes live
Saw her open for Sylvan Esso when she was touring her first album. Was already a fan from her Wye Oak stuff but man she’s great live, did it all solo with a drum machine, no fancy lights or anything just rocked it. Biggest regret was we had a chance to meet her but if we moved we would’ve lost our standing spot for Sylvan Esso and the Paladium was packedddd that night so didn’t want to risk it, btw they also insanely killed that show, probably best night we’ve seen live in LA besides seeing Tennis for free back when they were literally unknown and played a small set when Pasadena would shut down Colorado blvd for their annual summer music fest. God I hate Covid. Don’t sleep on Tennis either if you get a chance to see them.
This that feel good music 💯
So beautiful. 💜💜💜
so its the whole group from mountain men. Love it.
Oh you roped in mountain man/ sylvan esso did you? Fricking amazing!!
They’ve been doing live collabs for awhile now.
How I discovered Flock of Dimes, actually
Ooo! The drummer from Bon Iver! Pioneer Works he pounds those skins like nobody else
Please lets have BIG RED MACHINE on tiny desk🙏
I love this so much!
Aaaargh, soooo goooood!!!
Was wondering why Sanborn wasn't in the credits... until I noticed he was just reading a book
I think he was there to make it symmetrical 😂😂😂
Jenn es lo máximo.
It also happens to be visual candy all the folk in their perspective zones but all one again
That's the drummer from Bon Iver scratching the half circle thing.
Mountain Men sat on the floor singing backup too
Ooh and crossover both of Sylvan Esso too
It’s essentially the WITH band. Love this group of people!
it is so happy to see thar 3 girls from Mountain Man
respect to all the artists that been on the tiny desk .. but if FKJ performed on tiny desk .. my last wish will be fulfilled not even lying.
Didn't understand a word, but it was easy listening and chill...
i would love to see John Butler on here
素敵ですね🥀
That was some very enjoyable ear candy.
Will Ferrell petting the frog, boss.
great stuff
Want to mean it!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!;;;;;
It's pretty cool that Will Ferrell was willing to sit in on percussion.
ha, I was thinking both percussionists look like versions of Will Ferrell....but the dude on the right especially does.
Yay!!!
If that were a sect, I would like to be a member. ❤️
