Tigers Jaw: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@thekrustaceox5181]

Acoustic June is one of the most beautifull songs i've ever heard.

[@miminoesta]

@@strawberrykush6067 They should do an acoustic album with the new songs!

[@gamer20155]

Thinking about where this band started from and how it lost so many members this is great. Im glad they didnt give up and still make great music.

[@tiredoftomorrow012]

[@Swukelz]

Didn’t they have a hiatus in 2013

true story! can't help but miss Adam though

[@CaptainBlue42]

@@goochface1000 He has a few newer projects

[@toddsmithselbow1732]

@@CaptainBlue42 Yeah he's without a doubt having more success now than ever before. And not splitting it 4 ways, I feel bad for smaller bands these days.

[@wastelanda7x]

I bet it feels so good to harmonize with someone like that

[@CristelDevriezeMN]

Dude they are brother and sister!

[@deadcolony1298]

Tigers jaw has this weird aura to them, all of their songs are so well crafted, I could listen to them do stripped down versions of their songs all day, there’s something so perfect about the simplicity of the keyboard and guitar and their two voices

[@SnowHXC]

thats how I feel with old tigers jaw. I love them but I miss how it use to be I saw them for their 10 year anniversary tour and fuck it was beautiful hearing their self titled being played again ;-;

[@vegancomicnerd86]

I still come back to this regularly, it’s so lovely.

[@hades4328]

so real

[@BetaGrub]

It’s been near weekly for the last 7 years just so I can hear that rendition of June. Nearly 400+ listens later, seeing them perform it live a handful of times over the years…it still strikes me just the same.

[@florianosaure1304]

Me too. It's like a warm blanket to me.

This band is bittersweet and nostalgia in the best way.

[@JuanOlfe]

This is one of my favorite recordings they have done simply because she sings so confidently and harmonizes with him in a phenomenal way. It is absolutely stunning.

[@43408628]

wholesome AF

[@Peighter]

I get a kick out of sad music, it always leaves me feeling "not alone" in my sorrow. Thank you tiny desk!

[@Scorpion573]

thank you. made me see it from a different perspective.

[@fedbumoz987]

Peighter Novack misery loves company. So it would seem solitude does as well. What a freaking paradox that is.

[@chaseadams347]

i definitely got a late 90's vibe!

[@Hockeyjew702]

Tigers Jaw... Being as an ocean... Ben Gibbard (DCFC)

Cruel one convinced you in his stillness In a dream, safe and harmless Unknown to you Wolf in sheep's clothing Hand over mouth His secrets you're holding I can see you and the ache you're hiding I'm here you know I'll always remind you Lonely one, I always knew The future tells a hazel view Gemstone, like polish and acetone For you are my sister sewn I know you like the drive home Breath deep, the knower's perspective You'll see how the rest of this is undeniable Hold out for June, it brings new season Vision is clear, your mind revealing Pressing the flower in the page Forever kept, a memory made Now you're so sure, you're always leading All the same words now bring new meaning I can hear you and I know you're singing "I'm here you know I'll always remind you." Lovely one Four leaf luck Skilled hands built you up Hold out for June, it brings new season Vision is clear, your mind revealing Pressing the flower in the page Forever kept, a memory made Now you're so sure, you're always leading All the same words now bring new meaning I can hear you and I know you're singing "I'm here you know I'll always remind you."

[@bluen0tez]

tigers jaw is at their best with just ben & brianna writing songs imo. loved this set!

[@alexmeinkoth4315]

I found this video 7 years ago and have loved them so much since. They’ve gotten me through such a dark time and i FINALLY got to see them live a couple months ago.

[@alisonhenley1365]

ugh, amazing. their voices are so nice together.

[@ADiamondQuartz]

This is incredible. I've been listening to this album over and over, such a bookend to charmer and yet so sad in a new way. These lyrics capture so much in simple but beautiful words - unpretentious and humble, yet bleeding hope into kids and adults on the margins of giving up. These days its hard not to feel alone.

[@jadeanjalee5322]

This made me wanna cry!! Thank you

[@ADiamondQuartz]

Jade Rosales awww! Thank you Jade. That is very kind of you to say. Keep goin strong!

[@robisnotonfire68]

ADiamondQuartz beautiful comment. First time I’ve typed that on KZbin.

[@theXLR8D]

well spoken, the days of simple, intimate connections are rare. Now taken over by technology, in my opinion

[@ADiamondQuartz]

J Agreed. There’s just so much distraction and apathy.

[@andrewshrock5009]

I love this band. June is a fantastic song.

[@josephaquino6250]

I think this band has such a great grasp of emotional and honest songwriting. This is their best record to date. So happy to be able to experience their output.

[@Logan0123]

Went to their recent Pittsburgh show on a whim, no idea who they were at the time; they are great! I listen to metal, but I find it refreshing to step out into other genres every once in a while.

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

Same, I've been venturing outside heavy music a lot in the last few weeks and spin is one of the very best non-heavy records I've found so far

[@robmoore8562]

no fucking way you did tigers jaw, hell yes thank you

[@AwesomeGenius96]

whats left of the band, is still just as special

[@IshBrother]

She's so perfect

[@johnathonscutt4743]

This will always be one of my favorite TDCs. Always have Tigers Jaw in my rotation, new or old, always great

[@shreyaskendurkar4150]

"June" is stuck in my head! Beautiful tune :)

[@efraz445]

the melody of that song is so fucking catchy

[@emmapile8770]

it’s my favorite by them🤍

[@miminoesta]

I can say June acoustic is my favorite song in the world.

[@ethanavrigean6734]

Definitely think this album was made to be performed live acoustically

[@alisonhenley1365]

ethan avrigean right?! sounds great both ways!

[@ConjointVR]

Key to good song writing is to start off acoustically. Start it off naturally.

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

i feel like all the songs were probably written with just acoustic guitar but recorded with electric

[@tb2748]

I can only listen to it acoustically, and it is truly one of their best albums they've ever made when they play it acoustic I think. I dunno why, but the only studio stuff I can listen to is their self-titled and all the lo-fi stuff before it. there is something more intimate about how it is bare-bones.

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

Fun fact, there is an acoustic guitar layer going on pretty much every song of spin, so this figures

[@thetennispro5]

Why is it that every time tiny desk puts on an artist with a "mainstream" sound 80 percent of the comments are just trashing the artist and NPR? I mean if you guys want to listen to death metal polka music or death grips that's fine. However, just because an artist/band sounds more "mainstream" doesn't mean they are less talented or not worth listening too. I think the tiny desk is a fantastic program and just because you don't like the acts they have on due to their "mainstream" sound shouldn't really be an excuse to get in the comments and just trash NPR and everyone else who enjoys this kinda music. It's such a counterproductive stance to have.

[@axln1723]

thetennispro5 couldn't have said it better if i tried

[@Nicole-px3ll]

Mainstream means generic music anyone can listen to by turning on the radio. To many people, mainstream DOES mean they are less talented and not worth listening to. Compare this performance to the Penguin Club performance. The penguin club performance was filled with complex music and many musicians working together to create something beautiful. This performance contained songs that had simple single-voice melodies, over a couple chords repeated, with constant 3rd harmonies. BORING Aside from that, this is what the comment section is for. Stop telling other people what to think. i.e. fuck off.

[@AlexSuperTramp-]

Today I learned Tigers Jaw is "mainstream" lul

[@shnootch]

stop telling people not to tell people what to think. those people are inured to your concern. now go wash the dog...

[@thetennispro5]

Nick Knuckle At no point in my comment did I tell anyone what to think. You don't have to like the music that NPR has on here. Music is subjective as an art form and as a result not everyone is going to like every type of music. Admittedly, I don't enjoy every artist that's featured on this channel. That being said, I don't go into the comment section and trash the artist and the people who enjoy said artist. Like I said in my original post, that kinda comment is just really counterproductive and makes people who make those comments come off as music snobs that can't appreciate anything that's not music in 4/4 time with a basic chord structure. When last I checked some of the most influential and respected artists of all time (Dylan, The Beatles, Nirvana) weren't making music with polyrhythms in 6/8 time.

[@cielo3727]

it really wouldn't be tigers jaw without a twin peaks reference thrown in somewhere, god I love this band lol

[@BrendaLopez-qt2zo]

I went to their concert recently. It was my first one ever and I even crowd surfed. Their concerts have a great atmosphere and their music makes the experience 1000x better. Also, they’re so kind. Ughh, I miss March 3rd!!

[@coreysmith9166]

This band has really come together and put an amazing distinctive sound together.. Charmer and Spin are on repeat on my playlist.

[@aelaredo]

The harmony between the voices is so so so beatiful! Chills every time!! ben and brianna have so amazing voices.

[@0quin0]

this whole video is so soothing, i will never get tired of it. theyve already been so successful but i hope tigers jaw gets even more recognition, they have such a unique sound.

[@ryannothardcore]

Shouts out to the champion t-shirt I feel that

I'm so obsessed with these guys right now

[@itssjadaa]

ah i've loved them for a bit now!!! so glad they're on here wow

[@Admjoh]

I am so glad these guys are on Tiny Desk, they have been around for a while now and definitely deserve to shine a bit in the spotlight to perhaps bring in some new fans to enjoy their new stuff as well as discover their superb previous albums!

[@noodlenate]

I love this performance so much. Been playing it on repeat for a few weeks. Thank you so much tigers jaw and npr.

[@willplays7954]

My favorite band from my teenage years. You guys rock!

I mean I love their new album... but this acoustic set is perfection. So stoked for their show in Orlando!

[@dakotarivera6374]

I literally just seen these guys on tour with Webbed Wing and Movements and it was killer in Richmond, VA!!! Love Tigers Jaw!

[@yolobathsalts]

So interesting to see where Adam came from behind before joining up with GBC. Kinda would like to see him still with these guys. His voice would fit these lyrics pretty well

i need 2012 tigers jaw.

[@spooky8399]

This was so golden

[@pbass2676]

This is actually really good. I haven’t listened to them much since 60% of the band left. I always loved Adams voice so i guess i just didn’t think i would be into it. This is great though, just a little different.

[@KieransMusic92]

Brianna is so beautiful. Her and Ben's voices work so well together. I am so glad this band kept going rather than throw in the towel like other bands after a big lineup change. Keep going TJ. I wanna see you guys headlining MSG one day in NY

[@nicolml]

These harmonies make my heart beat a little faster, in a good way. 👌

[@mspacely6521]

These days its hard not to feel alone. There is a dull glow coming through your window. 😔

[@erik_hartley]

Nice. Reminds me of early 90's emo rock.

[@danman6669]

Do you mean early 2000s? Other than Sunny Day Real Estate, I don't remember any other emo bands back then and I didn't know about them until many years later, since grunge music (and nu-metal to an extent because of KoRn) ruled the early '90s. The early 2000s was when emo was massively popular.

[@thekredyard7577]

Jawbreaker. Get Up Kids Saves the Day. Jimmy Eat World. American Football to name a few

[@danman6669]

Yeah, you're right. However, American Football didn't start until 1997, so they aren't early '90s. The rest are good, though. I guess what I meant by my question was just clarification. If he meant early '90s, then okay. I just wanted to verify that he didn't mean early 2000s instead, since emo wasn't as well known in the '90s as it was in the 2000s and I wanted to make sure he didn't make a mistake. In the '90s all I remember was grunge, nu-metal, and pop punk. I didn't know any of those bands you mentioned until much later when emo became more mainstream. Thanks for the list, though.

[@nejmanr]

"wanted to make sure he didnt make a mistake" or wanted to troll for trolls sake?

[@SiPaGaKo]

I still love this so much!
