Blind Pilot: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Blind Pilot and the Tiny Desk series both launched in the same year, 2008, so it's hard to comprehend how the two hadn't converged until now: The band's shimmery folk-pop sound, with its vibraphone and overarching vibrancy, is perfectly suited to the space behind Bob Boilen's desk.
Fortunately, that sound has bloomed considerably since Blind Pilot's beginnings, coinciding with the group's expansion from a duo to a sextet. It's certainly expansive enough to fill the air in this graceful performance of four songs from And Then Like Lions, on which singer Israel Nebeker issues a series of elegant, thoughtful reflections on how we interact with the past. The album's arrangements are incredibly rich, but they're also a perfect match for the organic, sonically uncluttered setting the Tiny Desk was designed to provide.
And Then Like Lions is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/and...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Then-Like-Lion...
Set List:
"Umpqua Rushing"
"Packed Powder"
"Don't Doubt"
"Joik #3"
Credits:
Producers: Stephen Thompson, Niki Walker; Audio Engineer: Neil Tevault; Videographers: Niki Walker, Morgan McCloy, Nicole Boliaux; Production Assistant: Jenny Gathright; Photo: Claire Harbage/NPR.

    First time I listened Blind Pilot it was in 2009. I was walking in Lisbon and I heard a song at one store. I went to the guy of the store and asked who was playing. He said he had a random playlist and he didn't know, but the name of the track in the playlist was BLIND PILOT. I order their CD 3 "rounds and a sound". Until today, it's one of my favourite bands! It's part of my life!

    I saw them in Sacramento in about 2012. A friend invited me to see this group that i had never heard of. It was in a small bar, SRO, but i got to stand directly in front of the band. I was mesmerized and became an instant fan. One of my favorite groups of the Hipster Folk genre. Their first two albums are 🔥. Israel and Kati's voices blend like they were born to sing together. Like brother and sister.
