I do agree. The NPR office is truly a leveling field. That and the amazing recording and mixing creates something worth of the success it has got. But this Tiny desk from Home is far from that. Some artists provide a raw experience, just them and a basic recording/mixing behind it (this one for example). But others have a very elaborate show, everything measured, with a team of people behind managing the recording/mixing, aesthetics, etc. (Dua Lipa's comes to mind). Anyway.. the magic behind the Tiny desk recording/mixing has a name: Josh Rogosin. Take a look to the AMA he had on Reddit. Is really interesting. He is the man!

Welcome

Just back from watching Ben live. Mesmerising gig as was his last, when he played through Noonday Dream. I’ve grown up with his music, from starting to figure myself out as a 16 year old listening to ‘Black Flies’, to my first relationships and subsequent break ups replaying ‘the Burgh Island EP’, to finding myself watching sunsets more peacefully hearing Noonday songs. His music has progressed and developed at the same speed as me, and I’ve found myself loving an artist throughout his varied music (I usually overplay and burn out artists). I look forward to the journey ever more. As an aside, last nights gig was the same as 2 years ago - the crowd. People are going expecting 10 year old classics from Every Kingdom, which I imagine is frustrating for Ben. He’s been singing those songs for years, and is a different person writing Metaphysical Cantations as he was back then writing Keep Your Head Up. When he does sing the ‘favourites’, i personally love his new take and approach to them. Unfortunately, a lot talk over him at the gigs and grow impatient at the songs they don’t recognise, chanting “we want the wolves”. Some feedback online seems to carry the same sentiment. Bens gigs are intimate, especially at the moment and it’s a shame some aren’t along for that journey right now. I’d suggest seeing him at a festival might bring out more of the popular hits. But please don’t go expecting just the Spotify top played, just listen to some of the most beautiful chilled out songs and enjoy.

“Every Kingdom,” was my anthem toward sobriety. His beautiful voice and authenticity are pure magic!

Every kingdom got me out of a dark place in my life. Never had music impacted me so much. Thank you Ben.

Ben Howard always innovative and keeps the listener on their toes. How about the capo left off the low E string? Never seen that.

the less production the more ben's talent shines through

God this man is supernaturally gifted with his music. All were perfect but that first one reached deep into my soul and found an emotion I didn't even know I had. Ben, as always, profoundly majestic

As would I. Yet I have listened to 'Collections From The Whiteout" over and over like that. I love how he can take that and make it sound like something so completely different

Man, so good. I absolutely love that movement across the capo in Far Out. Glorious!

I adore ben, my early teens are filled with his music. His songs were the perfect fit for my exploration of the beautiful planet of ours and the liquid self. Glad to notice - he aswell, didn't stop evolving. Second Tune sounds and plays oddly like Radiohead. loved it.

"beautiful planet of ours and the liquid self" well said

Up until this point I'd never heard anything from Ben Howard before. I'm definitely a fan after Far Out, can't wait to listen to the studio version

Try out the Far Out Variation too. Similar to this but sounds so good it should be studio. Actually dive into Ben's entire discography. Gems including End of the Affair, Nica Libres at Dusk, Towing the Line, Esmeralda, Burgh Island, Promise, Black Flies, Soldiers, Bones, Oats in the Water, Time is Dancing, Rookery and Sorry Kid

@@Crimsonzs Cool, thanks! will check it out. This version of Far Out sounds like something Thom Yorke would cover on his Jazzmaster :)

And some songs only found on KZread (as far as I'm aware) like The Burren

Back here again almost a year later… I hope Ben is happy wherever he is probably Ibiza and I hope he comes to the US soon! Forever grateful for him!

I think many of us were waiting for this. He is definitely one of the most underrated but best songwriters out there. A true artist. I just think we needed an extra 40 minutes of this hahaha

How more people don’t know of Ben is crazy to me. Easily one of the best singer songwriters alive.

my first kid was laboured and born to this guys music. very healing and calming

This just proves music is timeless to me. Almost identical to a live video of John Martyn, some 50 years ago now but identical styles & one of bens idols. So raw

God I wish Ben would finally drop Oldest Trick in The Book. Such a beautiful song

*I'm STILL here, don't ask me why I literally do not know how to stop watching this. ben howard we've been waiting for this moment for a decade...tysm npr...one of the best things about npr tiny desk is the intention of accessibility, so mindful of its audience making sure that music is enjoyed by anyone who is willing to listen*

It's awesome to read these comments and realize that somehow it's possible to put a little bit into words the way Ben's music makes me feel.

Finally 🖤

i dont know how i've just put Every Kingdom on loop this week, and this suddenly shows up on my feed. finally!

npr forever got our backs 😭❤

No way he's finally done a tinydesk session! So jealous of all the new people that are going to discover him because of it. Amazing session as always, so refreshing.

right!! it'd be so awesome to experience Ben and his music for the first time again 😩

The I Forget Where We Were version is unreal. Ben Howard just never disappoints. It’s about time I can see him live again. Such a beautiful musician

Every note, slide, word hitting just the right place. He is a genius. I would really like to know how it feels to produce sounds like this. Breathtaking

Long time since I last saw any of his videos or him playing. He was a big deal to me back in 2014. He sort of looks now as if he was a character in Vikings. Good to see you again Ben.

Oh my. I was just listening to Ben Howard’s albums since yesterday and entered casually on KZread to watch some of his clips and for my surprise, this vid was uploaded 3h ago. This is marvelous. Ben, you are incredible. NPR thanks for this, I’ve been waiting for it for so long.

Ben howard and a guitar alone is far superior to anything else. I like his creativity on the records but theres something about his voice over a single guitar that makes it special
