- 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.
May 21, 2020 | Bob Boilen -- There's a moment near the top of this Sylvan Esso Tiny Desk (home) concert when Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn exchange glances and love spills from their eyes and into my heart. If you're stuck at home, this is the way to do it!
The Durham, N.C., couple gives us three songs from their home couch using modular synths, a rhythm machine and Amelia's heartfelt vocals. This home concert stands in sharp contrast to Sylvan Esso's remarkable new film, WITH, which features a host of their dear friends reshaping and reimagining their brilliant catalog of songs during the duo's 2019 tour. Add that to your list of things to do while sitting on your couch, hopefully with someone you like.
SET LIST
"Die Young"
"Rewind"
"Radio" - Hudba
Me forty seconds ago: "I've literally never heard of Sylvan Esso"
Me now: "I absolutely love Sylvan Esso!"
Same
You might also like their live Tiny Desk!
You should most definitely watch their in studio tiny desk concert, it's one of NPR's top viewed on here.
This was me with their Tiny Desk. Now their S/T is one of my favorite albums released in the last many years. They're so good!
Me now: "Woops I now own their entire discography on vinyl."
Their first performance with tiny desk is still one of my favorites. Their energy is so infectious.
Really, I need to look that up
First thing I saw on Tiny Desk and still one of the best.
Their first tiny desk is how I discovered them. So agree with you!
No phone call from Dad this time. What an omission!
@@johndjameson Lol
Something tells me that even without the Tiny Desk appearance or any public success, these two would still be making music and having just as much fun together. Love it!
You can tell he might be the happiest guy on Earth... quarantined with his electronics and the woman he loves.
Simple tastes breed simple pleasures :)
Being in the woods away from dense cities is the best place to be away from the virus. The plants have almost infinite surface area the virus drops to the ground as do all particles when the air is ionized. And the wind disperses a cloud of virus making it less likely for people to get a high viral load. The sun kills bacteria and virii.. The best place to be is in nature.. Most of the people dying from this are in close nit communities and mostly in dense tight living spaces like in manhattan, where every square foot is a commodity. This virus is going to make people spread out. One of the most densely populated cities? Hong Kong, all the apartments are jammed full of people, some apartments have people subleased into cages inside the apartments because the need for space is so great.
If I could make a wish. Just the right amount of success to make money singing awesome music, buy a house, retire comfortably, to do exactly this with my favorite person.
Are they a couple?
@@stevefisher2553 yes married I believe
Imagine being their neighbor, hearing this and yelling for them to TURN IT UP!!!!!! 😁🙌🏾
They would be dope neighbors to have!
I would be creeping them out dancing along the property line
@@shumeister1059 My friends live across the street from them. No lie.
@@djbost1 Maybe have them point the speakers outwards, and you can have a dance party... err, social distanced, mask wearing dance party.
He is always looking at her and smiling.
Married, happy and making music, living the dream.
@@IamAvidity Ah yes, the life!
Wouldn't you? :DDDDDD
yeah she is cute
Their first concert was one of the shows that helped me fall in love with Tiny Desk to begin with. I hope everyone swayed like seaweed in Ursula's cave while listening.
Omg I remember that. She's adorable.
Yeah, it was my first Tiny Desk. Amazing.
Makes so much more sense now lol…I thought she said “seaweed in a earthless cave”
Between the shattering of my mind from experiencing their music for the first time there just weren’t enough pieces left to unpack how you could have a cave with no earth, let alone one with seaweed inside
I came here for the seaweed and got a new concert!!
Will never get over her voice. I just really like it a lot!
And also their energy ❤️
you might like Mountain Men then (her old group or they might still be active kinda)
her voice reminds me of regina spektor
If I could see one concert after this pandemic is over, let it be Sylvan Esso!
i’ve seen them about two years ago, best experience i’ve EVER had
I've seen them twice now ... looking forward to the next time they come to Austin.
Dude, I saw them at Disney Concert Hall in LA. Such a chill band. Very special live. Keep a look out for concerts in your city!
I saw them in Knoxville a few years ago on their What Now tour!! I bought a single ticket the morning of the show, and it was one of the best nights of my life
They were my last concert *before* the pandemic, here in Durham, NC.
These 2 make it look so easy to make music in your living room. He's just chilling making simple beats. She's just dancing and singing and having a good time. Sylvan Esso!
Sylvan Esso? Instant click
Instant click? Instant like.
Yas!
Every time
Klik NÖW ...please.
💯
really cool to see them do a live set with a modular synth, not easy
I love that they must have performed all three of those songs a thousand times before, and yet they still seem so completely immersed in the moment and rocking out. Great stuff!!
that's my kind of dancing: while sat on the sofa
Yuss!!! My daughters have grown up to the sweet sounds of Slyvan Esso...over here in NZ
My sons too!! I took them to see Sylvan Esso in 2017 and remember their faces when the bass picks up in Could I Be...🤣
was awesome to see them at Laneway Auckland a few years back!
Same here x Aotearoa hard
0:00 - *Die Young* (3:38)
4:08 - *Rewind* (8:14)
9:16 - *Radio* (12:41)
Thank you, Pentameron :)
@@lisasnotes Glad to have helped :)
Oh thanks Man! I was looking for this!
at 4:10 she sings "bathing in the red glue breen" instead of red blue green and just laughs and keeps going haha awesome
Eyes on Breen, look it up
So cute
I just noticed that - that's awesome. She totally cracked herself up.
Good spot - lovely!
Her voice is so crisp and clear... sounding just as good sitting in their living room as it does on the album. And I've been listening to their music for at least 5 years (Coffee was the first song that caught my attention I think) and I never knew they were from right around the corner in Durham, NC! I like them even more now. :)
So bummed they didn't play coffee
Durham puts out some great artists.
So happy this has happened. Sylvan esso has blessed us with 2 performances, 1 beautiful film, and entire live album during quarantine. Thank you guys for keeping me sane.
What is the film?
Where can I find the film? Is it streamable?
Kae Falcon The WITH documentary on CZcams. Checkout their channel!
Jay Brown WITH - it has live performances from when they had a 10 piece band with them and they share their thoughts on the experience. It’s lovely.
Her voice is so flawless.. radio is so boppin I love it lol
I'm obsessed with this version of "Radio".
The distortion at 11:18 that lingers into the verse!
And that amazing vocal improvisation at the end ❤️
This Tiny Desk is what introduced me to Sylvan Esso. And they're now one of my fave bands!
Seriously the best.
I swear listening to these guys IS my happy place
I love how they have probably sang this song hundreds of times , yet that first smile from him is like it’s their first time 🤍 .
And she’s a cutie with a light so bright . Blind meeeee👊🏼 shine on
These guys have just grown and grown on me. I love the simplicity of just two folks; it really helps to lay their talent and artistry bare.
Heard coffee and was hooked ever since
First time to ever hear your music and I'm from South Africa so I've never been exposed to this type of sound. I believe you guys will change the world with your music, the first joint was life-changing.
I’m loving Amapiano from South Africa right now
Wow. The energy they gave to us, the energy they gave to each other. Thank you, I needed this concert in my bed.
"Die Young" is a BOLD choice for a first song from a quarantine concert 😬
lol yep
Only if you're not feeling it
It’s about giving up on suicide.
Their first TDC for NPR was so full of this loving energy between the two of them that I became a fan right then and there. They look like they are on the same wavelength and they are so excited to ride it together. You cannot help but smile. Thank you Sylvan Esso. Thank you NPR.
Her voice ❤️
His beats 👌👌👌
Sylvan Esso 👨🍳👩🍳😘😘
Chef's kiss
partial gear list if it helps anyone
thank you! my boyfriend asked if I could scroll and see if anyone mentioned which Roland that was lol didn't have to go far!
I came here for this. Thank you.
I miss my Roland kit
Thank you! I was wondering!
Wow dude, I have no idea what these mean (synthesizers?), but I'm super impressed with your knowledge!!
Wow. These two human beings and their dynamic and music has just changed my life!!! THANK YOU XX
Thanks for watching!
Drummer of 25 years here and a huge fan! Missing your show in StL because I help care for my disabled nephew now or I’d absolutely be there! You guys are amazing and an inspiration no doubt. One day I will see you all live and check it off my bucket list. Until then I’ll be vibing to your beautiful music every day! Thank you for keeping me sane during quarantine in the past and still moving me with your music to this day ❤ much love
Wow... that looked like so much fun. Sounded absolutely amazing
Amelia is one of my favorite singers. and Nick brings the noise. Incredible band.
Loved thier original Tiny Desk Concert, one of the best of all time. This, from home TDC just makes me smile, the very essence of Sylvan Esso. So simple, so pure, so clever, so talented so loveable.
Counting the days til they get the Grammy! Their music means the world to me and so did this tiny home concert!
💛 Please take me back to Eaux Claires 2015 on a sweaty summer day under a tent with these two lovely folks and so many others shoulder-to-shoulder dancing
Saw them at red rocks, it was amazing, so good live. I just got a little sad watching this and not knowing when we can go to live shows again... At least I live by one of the world's greatest outdoor venues (Red Rocks) as they will probably be able to hold shows sooner.
Still sounds good no matter where their at.
(They’re)
I think part of it is that they don't need a super in depth mic setup to record. All they need is one decent microphone. They probably don't have to worry too much about echo either since they just need to record her voice rather than the sound of the room.
@@estevanphillips6889 no, they have misplaced their at
Anders Ledell That's what I was gonna say. This kind of stuff, you can record literally anywhere.
She's so cute dancing on the sofa. So fun! ♥️
'die young' might be my favorite love song of all time. "I had it all planned out before you met me, I had a plan, you ruined it completely... I was gonna die young, now I gotta wait for you, honey"
I only found out about Sylvan Esso via Tiny Desk and I loved their stuff right away. As someone who cut their teeth on Kraftwerk and OMD, Thomas Dolby and Jean Michel Jarre, I've always welcomed fresh, energetic new electronica content. This was a blast to watch. Especially Radio. I really appreciated that new Tiny Desk (home) concert.
Wowwwwwww, she is just absolutely captivating! Their energy together is untouchable.
I don't usually listen to music like this, but I've always been very impressed with everyone in Mountain Man, and Nick Sanborn's production works magic accompanying her voice.
Years from now I'll look back on quarantine 2020 and this tiny desk will be part of my soundtrack
Last couple days had me pretty down but this got me up.
The first Sylvan Esso concert I went to is still one of the best I've ever been to. COVID sucks but it will make the next time I see them all the better
Ahhh, a treat!! I found Tiny Desk and these two at the same time with their first Tiny Desk.... Loving this and forever love Tiny Desk! 💕⭐💕⭐💕
Synth god! Vocal goddess! Magical amalgamation of human talent!
Why would anyone dislike this??
I saw Sylvan Esso at the Laneway festival in Auckland, NZ a few years ago.
Highlight of the day, honestly.
My god how much I love these two. So much joy when they are jamming. Thanks NPR, their first appearance on Tiny Desk made me fall in love with them, this one just makes me grin from ear to ear !
I keep coming back here over and over again... SE is magic
I can't love these two enough.
So lovely so talented.
Sylvan esso has saved my life multiple times
Her voice over the electric sounds just make my mind melt... Perfection in my ears!
I love y'all. The musicians, NPR, and everyone behind the scenes. I feel warm.
She has an amazing voice!
it's been 2 years since I saw them in concert.
My heart is too full for these two. Completely amazed and so happy they share with us. They have changed my life!
Found these two a year back from, you guessed it, NPR tiny desk and now rockin to their vinyl. What an eclectic and in tune band and couple. Her first group Mountain Man is pretty solid too.
That first track... So absolutely perfect guys! Love where it's coming from - home
didn’t realize til i watched this and saw her singing to him that die young is about him. such an emotional song🥺
?
Nvm I got it!
I love this so so much, the organic process between them in the living room making some kind of magic together for us. It is so kind of them to share it.
Love Tiny Desk, love these two, and now I'm loving today. Thank you!
So cute and Amelia was super cute at the end of their last song!
I love these two so much, thanks tiny desk.
Thanks for watching!
Such quarantine goals. Love Amelia’s energy all the time!
I’m really loving this Tiny Desk from Home Concerts.
Sun is shining, lunch is ready and Sylvan Esso on NPR, perfect!
Sounds like a lovely lunch break!
I like this version of "Radio" even more than the 2017 version. So much more depth
One of my favorite bands. Got to see them in Dallas a year or so ago. Amazing show. Such amazing synergy. Love Love Love.
Thank you Tiny Desk and Sylvan Esso for all this inspiration. I'm loving these vibes. What a perfect add to the sunny sky I needed today💛
Perfect start to this Thursday morning.
blessed by this queen and king while i sip on hot fennel tea, wash the dishes, n wait for my almond milk yogurt, lemon bundt to finish bakin in the oven . 🍋🥰
Yes. I want to know how you bundt cake turned out too.
Sounds incredibly mellow .
Vibe
I can't forget how I came across them originally but i gotta say, one of the most inspiring voices. sound is so different. her voice does something to me (in a good way).
I treasure work like this. Such a touchstone for how I was feeling at that part of the pandemic as well. Tiny Desk is legendary
Merci pour ☀️ je vous adore!!!
Sylvan esso opened for a band in Indianapolis years ago, and I've been in love ever since. I don't even remember the main show, they ended up fully impressing me and put on such a fun show!
One of my happiest memories is seeing them live! Love this!!💜 made my day!!
They’re so cute! Her voice is beautiful and effortless!
Amazing set! All my favorites and I woke up and danced to it all. Thank you so much with love from FL
Hi, FL! Glad you had a great start to the day!
they’re always pure and honest art. just stunning.
This is the best vibe and feeling I've gotten in a long time I feel the happiness and love
Their music gets my body everytime. I move to it.
Go Durham! Wish I was their neighbor! Cool weather with the windows open and jamming to this.
THIS VIDEO HAS BROUGHT MY SOUL BACK TO LIFFFFFFE.
I love everything about them. I was so excited to see this in my feed
Been listening to them since before the first tiny desk ♥️♥️♥️ more in love with them every time I hear her voice
I love every second of this video
one of my favorite artists ever!!! slack jaw is my fave
This is truly amazing and Amelia is mesmerizing. I listen to a wide range of music but I really cannot stop watching this performance.
I first discovered them like a month ago in quarantine - I was watching the Tiny Desk from several years ago. Lo and behold, another one!!!
Her voice is carrying me through these rough times :)
I became an instant fan from their first Tiny desk.
Just freaking perfect 😍
(Had to watch it twice just to make sure it soaked in good 👍)
I loved them in concert too. Great energy
It is crazy fun to watch these two make great music.
Finally some good quality recording from home, nice
