- 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.
Tom Huizenga | July 28, 2021
Anna B Savage's new home these days is the west coast of Ireland near Mullaghmore, where this striking video was shot. Moss clings to a shoreline cove where seagulls circle in air so moist you could slice right through it.
Savage's songs, too, are thick with unfiltered feelings, self-interrogation and wry humor, raising the bar for any Joni Mitchell-inspired confessional songwriting. The three she performs here are pulled from different moments in her career and personal life but cohere around the theme of struggling in the darkness of a toxic relationship before emerging into self-confident sunshine. The songs might be self-referential, but like Mitchell's they speak in customized messages with a voice that whispers intimacies one moment and soars with operatic glory the next.
In "Corncrakes," Savage's beloved birds trigger mixed feelings for a lover, climaxing in the repeated line that itself could have been our collective mantra over the past year: "I don't know if this is even real. I don't feel things as keenly as I used to."
"Since We Broke Up," a new song premiered here, finds Savage rising from personal struggles to once again enjoy her own company, while the astounding "One," from her 2015 breakthrough EP, paints a painful bedroom scene of self-doubt and embarrassment that ultimately leads to an explosive epiphany.
Enamored of her new environs, Savage told NPR she chose the locale to "showcase some of my new, completely wild and amazing landscape." But what she truly offers here is the terrain inside the mind of one of today's most distinctive cartographers of human temperament.

Thank you for having me!
Absolutely class 🙌
what a performance. Goosebumps!
ssooooo beautiful!!
You’re welcome!
Ouch. My soul.
Anna B Savage, the music of course is high quality indeed but you win the award for best tiny desk setting. Your tiny desk is made from the bones of our world. You are connected to all of us both through the bedrock and the music.
One of the greatest vocalists of a generation. I'd consider myself fortunate just to have heard her early work. The possibility of decades of Anna B Savage is hard to comprehend.
Thank Jesus I stayed for the man diving at the end.
In spite of all the great ancestors that come to mind hearing this she's way to unique and genuine to be compared. This is an artist who's creations you want to follow the rest of your life.
Obsessed. Moved. That voice, the words, the backdrop, everything 🙌 good grief...on repeat. Thank you!
Since We Broke Up sounds like the anthem of our generation.
BEAUTIFUL!! That election of place, the contrast of colours, that intense green grass on the black of the rocks, even the grey weather combine with that atmosphere. In the middle of that a beautiful and radiant voice. Beautiful tiny desk.-
Her record from this year really caught me by surprise, and this performance is incredible. That guitar tone is nuts, and the vocals are unbelievable.
This is by far my new favourite Tiny Desk! Get her back to do Baby Grand!!!
This needs more views! The voice, the songwriting, the setting, simply gorgeous and devastating all around.
Saw Anna B play live for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago at End Of The Road festival - gorgeous songs from a lovely, warm, passionate, humorous person and this Tiny Desk Concert captures a small flavour of that wonderful gig. Beautiful!
Just brilliant. So well deserved.
Incredibly vivid lyricism with a voice that has the dark lushness synonymous of Sarah Nova.. Anna’s a remarkable artist.
Stopped my morning ! How powerful and honesty a plenty and pure . Thank you Anna for making me think.....
fabulous! Thank you, Ms Savage and thank you, Tiny Desk.
Music is awesome, not slipping on that moss is also impressive!
Seaweed Robert, seaweed. But yeah, awesome!
Gorgeous setting, serene sounds. Really enjoyed this one.
a cool spot is not going to improve the music. the music should stand on its own it's all that really matters.....
That’s just like, your opinion, man.
@@ThraceFulton "i'm sorry i wasn't listening" well said sir!
Heard something so fresh after a very long time. Your voice can move anyone anytime. Thanks!
one of the best albums to come out this year !!!!!!
Gorgeous performance, just lovely 🥰❤️🥰
The intensity of her performance and work is comparable to that of singers/songwriters like Nick Drake or Tim Buckley. I love it. She's one with her music.This is pure authenticity.
What does that even mean? "pure authenticity"
Its like a hypnotic experience, love it!
Woooooowwwwww. Anna B Savage your music blows my mind.

Brava! 😎
Sin A Deir Si please🇮🇪🙏🏻
soo goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
That was so cool and unique! Love the songs, love the voice, love the scenery!
a cool spot is not going to improve the music. the music should stand on its own it's all that really matters.....
Something different. I like
The performances keep getting creatively beautiful. I love that. I guess Covid brought about one good thing, the opportunity for artists to decide where and how they want to approach their Tiny Desk performance. Still, fck Covid.
a cool spot is not going to improve the music. the music should stand on its own it's all that really matters.....
Brilliant

That dude at the end though
wow, the sea is her home
дуже красиво
Cool
please tell me how you got this tone on your guitar please
please
LO§2VE
Love that voice!
Cool Irish girl. I can feel her pain. Always wanted to visit Ireland. 2nd song is funny. Hope I don't fall in love. I want to live alone but can't afford the rent. Lol...
She's from London originally.
Anna’s voice gives me Freddie Mercury vibes.
Did I just fall in love?
Nice. Def Anthony vibes in her voice.
I think they go by Anohni now! If you mean the person I think you mean :) Very apt comparison.
Nice to hear music vs tiny desk propaganda. I bet they had nothing to do with it.
Gorgeous voice and beautiful sensitivity to the music sweetheart.
Death Stranding vibes
locura
is that a "home" ?
Isn't a "home" a place where you feel happy and safe, wherever this would be?
nah, that's just a desk
This is either very good or very bad
Way to much verbrato for me kinda ruined it. Enjoyed the kick back rifts though
An acquired taste perhaps but sometimes, like Guinness, it's worth acquiring that taste. I used to feel similarly towards about Karen Dalton and Bob Dylan but I got over it - their songs were worth hearing!
First
I can almost see the dark troopers landing to get Jyn Erso's father
OK voice...but JMO
