These ladies are very talented in my opinion. Less is not always more, but it definitely is in this case. I enjoyed how in sync they were, and how much they achieved through simple harmonies and chord progressions. No over the top, grand sweeping metaphors, just straight forward lyrics and nostalgic nods to the past.

I just fucking love musicians who don't even try, they just... this is exactly the type of music you play on your couch when you are pretending your making a song with a friend, and it's just so honestly performed, they are not focusing on what it may sound to others, they are just... it's amazing how they perfectly make this type of music work.

I saw them in concert yesterday and they were awesome.

One of the biggest things about them that's appealing to me is that they genuinely do not care what others think of their music or of them in general. They write, play, and sing with such honesty and people just aren't used to that which really sucks. If they're not your type, fine, but don't go around mindlessly insulting what you don't understand. Get a life! Let these girls live and do what they love!

It invites you to pay attention to individual aspects of the sound and puts weight on small choices -- moments of harmony, dissonance, even just the unchanging steadiness of the beat.

I saw Girlpool open for Waxahatchee and they were mesmerizing. So unique and watchable.

love the call and response with the guitar & bass in before the world was big

I've always been amazed by people who hear a new sound and don't even bother trying to understand why people like it. The melodies are good and I enjoy the fact that the vocals have an edge to them; it's more interesting. If you want them to sing like Norah Jones, you're missing the point

because you feel they're young and hip, and it speaks to you, and you ignore how mediocre the music is.

these girls are amazing. their music encapsulates what i love the most about what Rothko band is about, these clean bass tones and beautiful and simple melodies. combined with their clean vocals and kinda raw female energy = love. this music is not simple in so many ways, you just have to be a little bit open-minded to fully apreciate it. peace.

much better than the usual 2 barre chords indie rock band. I guess the haters have never heard of the Breeders, Pavement or Low.

I think anyone who has a criticism should actually watch the entire performance (at least "Cherry Picking") and honestly really listen to the 2 albums they have put out in the last couple of years. Then, before making an insult about their style and how your ears can't handle it (which is your loss), think about how your comment could apply to every single important piece of rock music throughout history. Then realize that they do what they do very intentionally and effectively, how sophisticated they are for their age, the gap they are filling between The Shaggs, early alternative chicks in the 90's, and now, and how well practiced and musically connected these two girls are. The songs are original, unartificial, and orchestrally minimal by choice.

It's a bit much to ask people to listen to two full albums before having an opinion on this specific performance. I get it, you like them, and that's cool, but not everyone can appreciate every style of music.

Okay it's really cool to hear a band that's doing polyphonic music instead of homophonic music. A lot of what they do is based on multiple melodic lines rather than having a chord progression. That's super cool. While their voices are not the best for some people they definitely hitting those notes and it's very easy to understand the melodic lines that they're singing. This band is cool musically and more bands should take a page from their book instead of just doing weird chord progressions and SICK RIFFZ just for the sake of it.

@TheNinetySecond

5 жыл бұрын

What are you talking about? This band is much more homophonic most. It's like the basis of the entire sound. You got this one way wrong, dude.

Been a really big fan of both Girlpool _and_ Tiny Desk for quite awhile, how am I just now finding out they have a fucking Tiny Desk Concert. Fuck I needed this. So damn proud of you both, christ

This is easily my favourite Tiny Desk Concert, and i'd never heard Girlpool before listening to this, I think I even prefer these versions to the record. It's incredible.

oh fuck I take it back. I admit I judged too quickly. this angsty punk rock genre has been dominated by men. and its so empowering seeing two women just belt out their emotions without being constrained by sounding "pretty" or "angelic". lost of respect.

Excellent K.I.S.S. group and amazing recording, mixed by distance to the mic. This is great!

You’re telling me it’s been 8 years of listening to girlpool???? Starting to understand the songs more everyday day starting at like 20 years old lol

Freaking fantastic!

What a treat.

I love them and this performance and this record so much ugggggh

what a fun song, I love it!!!

God I miss these dual harmonies I always thought girlpool was gonna be huge but unfortunately things change and now they are broke up 😢

always brilliant

Such a good way of finding new bands, really enjoyed this! I'd love to see a Jeffrey Lewis Tiny desk concert!

I have recently become mesmerized by these girls. So unique. Love it. Plus they're cute :)

Fantastic music.
