Mother Falcon: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

When it comes to Tiny Desk Concerts, we're suckers for milestones at NPR Music: We're gearing up to acknowledge No. 300, for example, and are constantly taking note of the first time a musician trots out a particular rare instrument or does something else no one has done in front of us before. The Austin chamber-rock band Mother Falcon recently scored a big distinction, at least as far as we're concerned - one it shares with its fellow Texans in The Polyphonic Spree - as the largest ensemble ever to squeeze behind Bob Boilen's desk.
Unlike The Polyphonic Spree, though, everyone in Mother Falcon plays an instrument during this performance: There's no chorus of backup singers among the 17 men and women who play guitars and horns and keyboards and woodwinds and strings here. Which made Tetris-ing each member behind Bob's desk a bit of a challenge, but Mother Falcon knows its way around cramped spaces: At one point during SXSW this year, Bob and I saw the group give a concert as it spilled from a small stage all the way onto the street outside. (Crowds gathered around both spaces, in some cases not realizing that they were only seeing half a band.)
What makes Mother Falcon so alluring, though, isn't its size, but rather the way it uses all its members in the service of great, snappy, stirring, frequently uplifting songs. Its many moving parts aren't creating mere volume, but also texture: These three songs, all from this year's You Knew, find a place for dreamy whispers and literal screams alike. Give this sweet, winning band 12 minutes - heck, give it the first two and a half, which is all it takes to perform the soaring and scrappy "Marigold" - and you ought to have yourself a favorite worth following for years to come. --STEPHEN THOMPSON

    My band conductor committed suicide shortly after I left high school. He taught me in 5th grade, 9th through 12th and is a huge reason why I still have my horn today. This put me in tears, I remember that feeling he taught us of totally being in sync with those you are playing with. I see it in every one of these musicians, it is so beautiful.

I don't know But tonight I'm gonna find out Is this love? I don't know But tonight I'm gonna find out [Verse 2] We kissed without hesitation, no reservations We dangle our feet from the highest places In the crowd of the sad in the crowd of the mad We are the only smiling faces [Verse 3] Every day and all night 'Til the morning dawn's bright I don't want to see you go And every day and all night Even when you're alright I don't want to let you go
