Dec. 16, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- Many bands make considerable adjustments to their playing style in order for their sound to properly fill the Tiny Desk space. LA-based trio Moonchild, along with three background singers and a drummer, arrived promptly for their load-in time, unpacked their gear and were ready to go within minutes. Aside from being especially efficient, their natural musical instincts made for a custom fit in our corner.
Amber Navran, Max Bryk and Andris Mattson joined forces in 2012 at the University of Southern California and their debut album, Be Free soon followed. This year, they released their fourth album, Little Ghost, intricately meshing jazz, R&B and hip-hop sounds under Amber's subtle vocal feats.
For their set, they pulled out all the stops: flutes, flugelhorns, saxophones, keyboards, ukuleles and some the best harmonies I've heard in recent memory. From the moment Amber walked into the building and throughout the performance, she wore a smile on her face and expressed sincere gratitude for the Tiny Desk platform. She took advantage of the moment and amplified a cause near and dear to her heart. She asked us to "spend our privilege" and do more in the fight for people of color in the United States. They closed with a jam from 2017's Voyager.

Dude in the yellow is more black than the black guy on drums

[@MaztecPrince]

Andris Mattson, he is amazing!!

[@manourougeblanc]

True, lol

[@JerryT21]

The engineer and production team should get in front of the camera and take a bow you guys are quality top notch 🎛🎤🎚🎙🔊

[@abbasdaif3490]

Amen I can not fault their production for almost every tiny desk, most of the time sounds better than studio recordings

[@joefish6546]

Agreed. Pushing my ear buds in deep on this one in particular, but they're often the best I've heard many of these artists.

[@ttyyuuiiei]

geraldotorres35 I wish I had the ear to appreciate sound engineering. Maybe I’d only notice if it was bad.

[@therealtaxman6471]

yeahh it sounds damm great!

[@CANDYSOULonline]

EXACTLY!!! this sound is album worthy...like, all of the Tiny Desk shows should have albums...that is how good the sound quality is.

[@FabiannedeJesus]

It’s magical when we first like their songs and afterwards we fall in love with the artists themselves!

[@lata4728]

This is how a live band is supposed to sound. So rewarding

[@andreacooks59]

Moon child goes with Tiny Desk like peanut butter and jelly.

[@jodyharris9731]

With groups like Moonchild, KING, The Internet, Tank & Da Bangas, The Dove Society, Radio Galaxy, wax poetics(the group), the oz collective, snarky puppy, OSHUN, etc makes me still love music.

[@leafsoup]

Louis Cole, Jacob Mann/Max Ox, Fearofdark too.

[@ankihansen2489]

Listen to Hiatus Kaiyote

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Yes I truly agree, I love underrated singers

[@deanroddey2881]

Snarky Puppy is musogasmic sometimes. Lingus just floors me. And the one that they do with Jacob Collier is ridiculous.

[@ixzaluoh8997]

Lateshia Childs don’t worry soon they won’t be underrated

[@WarriorByNature]

I am so honored to find out about this group. My soul feels at ease for once during so much he’ll going on in Afghanistan, Haiti, Jamaica, and many other places right now.

[@stephenmattai797]

Oh, so this is what an alarm clock in heaven sounds like. My soul has awakened again. Thank you!

This is the most NPR thing I've ever seen.

The fact that she looks like she’s enjoying her songs makes me even love watching her perform more

[@brianhardaway9716]

These Cats are just Vibing in that Heart felt Place. Music has to come from the Creator because it doesn’t matter what Language, Race, Religion or whatever Unimportant distractions on this Earth, it can always touch Something deep down inside ALL of US!! Thanks for making My Soul smile.

[@mikkiismyname]

brilliantly stated. 👏

[@dandalessandro6852]

Ever since I discovered Moonchild via a tour through my city, I've been forwarding their video and tracks to all my musician friends as an example of "this is how you do it". This is pure music, and all that goodness comes from a well-balanced live mix on a small stage, not a bunch of studio grease. That being said, Moonchild deserves much more than just a cult following and are worthy of commercial airplay so long as it doesn't change their style.

[@chadalahio8266]

I’ve been a fan since I discovered them in 2018. Steadily on my rotation. Perfect Neo Soul and Jazz energy in my life. Awesome musicians and writers!

[@NicOleFrenchie]

I saw them live at the Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park and they were magical. The lead vocalist is such a pure spirit. Love her and love them.

[@BellesView]

Makeba Nicole Omg I saw them there too! They opened for The Internet during the Hive Mind Tour at The Tabernacle last year too 😍

[@BigDipperPro]

Completely jealous

[@zoserreseachsociety6029]

[@BellesView]

Zoser Reseach Society OMG small world! That was an incredible concert.

[@ianhobbies]

First time listening to this group.. I was not prepared people... Amazing.

[@kennygsmooth83]

[@BigDipperPro]

[@jordonmsmith]

Darnell Harris they actually have 4. And they’re all excellent

[@kene331]

I know how you feel. I just clicked looking forward to a little alternative music. Was pleasantly surprised. Now I must binge listen.

[@Food4CriticalThought]

This band has snuck into one of my favs as the years have past.

[@choquelit]

Same! Went to see them on tour a few months ago and they are even better live! ❤
