Tame Impala: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

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.
Bobby Carter | August 24, 2020
With beats, effects and synths pumping through a DJ mixer sitting on a school desk in his home studio in Australia, we present Tame Impala like you've never heard it before. As much as I love Tame Impala's music, I'm probably more intrigued by the creative process that brings the songs to life. The studio version of the band is pretty simple on paper: All songs are written, produced and performed by Kevin Parker. For the live version, Parker is still front and center but surrounded by a host of musicians who interpret his recorded work almost to a tee.
So it came as a shock to me when the Australian maestro explained what he wanted to do for his Tiny Desk (home) concert or his "Tame Impala Soundsystem" as he puts it. "I'll get Jay (Watson) and Dom (Simper) and we'll do this kind of electronic jam with heaps of equipment around us and we'll recreate the songs with samplers and sequencers," Parker says. "I've wanted to do something like this for a while and thought Tiny Desk would be the opportunity to do it."
SET LIST
"Breathe Deeper"
"Is It True"
"Patience"

Ahh must've been mistaken then, nice to know Andrew!

[@breannadent5854]

Ahhh :( My boyfriend and I had GA Floor tickets to this show, we came from a Caribbean island two days early and then the show was canceled. Our hearts were broken. It would have been my third time seeing Tame Impala and Clairo so I was pretty sad. I hope the show will still happen at some point!!!

[@mendezzoso]

@@breannadent5854 next year! fingers crossed!!

[@KrishnaKinnal]

@@breannadent5854 I flew in from Seattle! Was disappointed that it got canceled, and yeah I hope it happens next year

[@samuelveniere4203]

I just can't stop listening to this. That sound totally caught me by surprise.

[@kapucyn23]

Totally love these sounds!! Incredibly magical! A lot of love from Poland to every good soul. Keep smiling

[@izxzxy]

and he played patience wow we don’t deserve them

[@edgeofugly]

I am still sad the song isnt included in the album. The song perfectly captured of what i am going through

[@blueboystudios]

Kevin Parker has transitioned into an incredible singer throughout his career

[@sammmiii13]

I noticed this too. Saw them a few years back in Sydney and his voice was great then but it’s even better now, I think.

[@stasia108]

yeah he's def improved his vocals over the years! idrc too much bc everything else he does is amazing but still great

[@Sbrabson04]

I revisit this every year I swear. One of the best performances ever!

[@zidanestarr]

One of my favorite tiny desk performances. He makes it look so effortless! Jeeeez!

[@lewisvinson2985]

Whoever said “patience” is boring needs to listen to this version.

[@XxcupcakesaysrawrxX7]

Patience already gives me nostalgia, imagine it in a decade!

[@willsullivan7568]

Whoever said Patience is boring needs to listen to Patience again

[@iggystardust9236]

I've honestly never heard anyone say that lol

[@jonnyzarenkiewicz877]

Whoever said patience is boring they need to get some. Patience is forever. I realized this on dmt this past new years eve while listening to patience by tame impala.

[@rocios.635]

Patience its my favorite of the album even when is not on it😅

[@jos6085]

I wouldn’t mind a concert from his home every year for the rest of my life

[@lockergr]

You misspelled DAY.

[@Anatole4]

Me neither

[@Itiswhatitisitiswhatitiswhatit]

Henry Saiz has done that since the start of the pandemic, it's wonderful.

[@randoH3000]

Looks like they’re in a professional studio, judging by that expensive af console to the right, with engineer to match

[@nangs3663]

Love how Kevin gives us a sassy shoulder pump at 4:54 then just walks away

[@StinginRogerr]

Feelin’ the funk

[@angelilly]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@analuciabertolani5549]

This song is like a retrofuture something that brings me nostalgia. Reminds me of partys at home . We just turned off the lights and danced real slow with The boys. Omg, tame impala triggers so many memories. They are really from another era

[@jadethronson9675]

Kevin is so underrated. One of the best artists /of our time

[@atlgator1928]

I don't think you know the definition of "underrated."

[@DobBylan_]

He meant overrated*

[@jennaleestack6287]

atlgator def not underrated but I think he meant being acknowledged at the same level as like Billie eilish and Ariana grande?? No idea tho

[@123oner]

Cool story bro

[@leaku6493]

I wouldn’t say underrated because he’s still very popular but he’s an amazing artist

[@ericmundt380]

That second half of breathe deeper is the song for the aliens

[@CalebRussell1]

Lololol

[@mendezzoso]

daft punk vibes?!?!

[@DanielC__]

Eric Mundt aliens are about the only entity that can appreciate this noize

[@jennoelle29]

Yeah, my favorite part! Makes sense.

[@zanyzooks]

I needed this

[@zonamtyi8295]

How am I only discovering this now?!😭😭😭😭

[@theripperoftime2240]

Kevin's music is everything you had in your mind already....He's merely the vehicle to those very thoughts and melodies

[@lexthanexpected]

can’t get over him constant trying keep his hair back but refusing to tuck it behind his ears

[@mot00rzysta]

lol yes. or cut it. *blasphemy

[@tomlarsen-wright5424]

11:38 🤗

[@gabrielap9019]

he does it all the time for years i think lol

[@SebastianGrantElKiva]

It looks a lot worse if you ear tuck. He uses a lot of shampoo.

[@luizspindola]

he's been doing this since 2008

[@buswimmer21]

We need some Tame Punk/Daft Impala. The world needs this!

[@Greatcountry37]

I think we need Daft Impala, but not Tame Punk. But that's just me.

[@richjones7313]

in a futureised homework stylee

[@thanightmare88]

I hope they work together soon

[@jakegopro8306]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

[@whoami2437]

a dream come true that would be be to be honest

[@CarissaJenkins]

this is where i discovered tame impala. now i'm coming back to watch again now having been obsessed with almost all their songs.

[@karenrojas2496]

Amo éste tiny desk, me remonta a una de las épocas más felices de mi vida ♥️
