- This performance was recorded on Feb. 7, 2020. We will continue releasing Tiny Desk videos of shows that had already been taped. In light of current events, NPR is postponing new live tapings of Tiny Desk Concerts. In the meantime, check out Tiny Desk (home) concerts! They’re recorded by the artists in their home. It’s the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.

April 13, 2020 | Bob Boilen -- Sometimes I'll see a band at my desk and wish I could jump in and join. That's what happened when Tōth played the Tiny Desk. I felt a deep connection to both the fun and emotion in their music. Besides, I loved their outfits. The last time we saw Alex Toth at the Tiny Desk, he was standing against the shelves, trumpet to his lips. He performed in 2015 with Rubblebucket and his partner Kalmia Travers was singing lead. This time around, Alex sings about their relationship's end in the song "Copilot."
"Thought you were my copilot na na na
My copilot na na na na na
Now I know that you were just taking me for a ride
And that's alright it was a beautiful ride."
"Copilot" is one of two songs Tōth performed at the Tiny Desk from his album Practice Magic and Seek Professional Help When Necessary. These songs are thoughtful, honest reflections on the end of his personal relationship with Kalmia Travers (although it continues professionally). The arrangements here are spare but textured with bits of Alex on trumpet and touches from Ben Chapoteau-Katz on sax and electronics. The rhythm section of drummer Rebecca Lasaponaro and bassist Ryan Dugre pin it all together. There is a debut here, before the ending singalong song. The new tune "Turnaround (Cocaine Song)" is a funny/sad (and I'll assume true) tale of poorly timed indulgence at his Aunt Mary's funeral in New Jersey. The balance of storytelling and intriguing music are my sweet spots, so Tōth felt right at home at my desk.

Homies look like characters in a Wes Anderson movie
The Life Pandemic with Steve Zissou
Every time i see Alex no matter if its live or on screen. I just feel so connected. Hes such a crazy talented human
he’s a really nice guy as well!
Me too, he’s so true
Update: my rubblebucket shoes are now signed by Alex, kal AND Rebecca (who happened to be the most badass drummer I've seen perform live
I just met him yesterday by chance and he's so nice and friendly.
I loved the song CO pilot, sent it around, and everyone asked if I was ok and assumed I was depressed.
His music make me feel as if im ascending
The horn duet at 10:00 is a truly sublime moment
The singer somehow looks 25 and 45 at the same time
Wake up at 6am to this, not bad at all. I feel like I'm gonna watch this 4 more times today.
Alex is a musical genius. Phenomenal songwriter, so underrated. Very grateful for the amount of joy he has brought me with all the incredible Rubblebucket songs and now the solo records. Thank you Toth!
Never heard of these dudes. But I’m glad I’m here. They’re super-chill.
Light up, Love Hard, Stay Safe.
That 2nd song is beautiful, i'm an instant fan....
The Tiny Desk sound engineer never fails to amaze me. This isn't normally what I go for but I'm checking out his album immediately!
Thank you for giving these artist airplay. Amazing music. I get all of my best songs from Tiny Desk.
8:52 Drummer starts snapping on 1 instead of 2 like the rest of the Band. :D
Makes the whole performance even more real and intimate. Great discovery to start my day with.
The version of copilot here sounds loads better than the album version. Its not excessively drenched in reverb, and the nakedness of the vocals reflects the raw emotions in the song.
I agree!!!
The thing l love about tiny desk is that it exposes me to groups l would never ever listen to.. like these guys...but l loved them! Thanks!
Dont know if people know very much about Toth. But I have been following his music since some time and his music is dark and groovy and awesome. Feels good to see a Tink Desk starting with Copilot.
I appreciate how he teases us with an almost Tom Selleck mustache.
Thank you for the uploads. I love this channel so much and it help a lot when the quarantine gets hard
Thanks so much for watching!
the dude has mad trumpet skills...!!
aw nuts I've listened to this at least 10 times and just realized it's the flute man from Rubblebucket!!
6:00 for a *magical* surprise
It's such a precious experience. Their music is beautiful and so special 🤗💘
Very sweet, the horns are nice touches (I knew from his Rubblebucket work that Alex's trumpet would be strong), and for me the songs got better as the performance went on.
I've listened to this a lot.
I’m diggin the drummers vibe
I see why you released this on 4/20
😂😂😂
Happy 4/20 everyone ! sending love
The day has come
Thank you for your comment, think i'll do the same.

Didn’t understand his sound at first. But then it took me away....
If this only were a cartoon-animated concert, the music just seems perfect for this situation.
Will Radiohead do tiny desk ever??
We'll add Radiohead to the list! Thanks for the recommendation!

Check out on Juliette, the person in the back right is on the keys and Sax at the same time!!! Crazy talented group here! Can't stop watching their music videos now!
I prefer the song this way more than the original versions, specially "no reason"

endlessly dreamy
Wow 👌 beautiful this gave me chills. Your voice is amazing 👏
Saw him when he opened for And The Kids, whose drummer is with him here. Usually I find bands from NPR, like And The Kids. It's weird already having seen a smaller act first.
They're so cool
the bassman has no chill with applause 8:06
Wonderfuuly creative !
That was awesome!
I just got the stuff I ordered from NPR this morning. Seems like good quality stuff, but the packaging is questionable.
rubblebucket dude!
Loved it
Very nice....love the Trumpet
Dope 💯 pleasant new find during quarantine
Co pilot is my Favorite song 🎵 😍
