Rhye: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
April 9, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- It seemed only fitting that when Rhye performed the band's Tiny Desk Concert that it be at night, illuminated by flickering light. The music Mike Milosh sings and writes conjures the evening and a swaying, romantic vibe.
It was five years ago nearly to the day that we filmed Rhye by candlelight in New York City as the band toured for its enigmatic album Woman. Mike Milosh requested that Rhye's members be filmed "only in silhouette, with the lights dimmed low" at Le Poisson Rouge show.
This time around the hundred or so flickering lights set the tone for the sextet of strings, keyboard, guitar, bass and drums to perform music from 2018's Blood. The sound is warm and velvety, all the instruments gently pulsing, as Mike Milosh softly sings with that high-pitched yearn.
Tiny Desk Concerts are often awkward by nature - bands playing in the middle of an office in the daytime for musicians used to playing in the evening, with stage lighting. But there was a special transformation that took place at this Tiny Desk the moment the music kicked in. I'm a sucker for a vibe in music - that feeling when a sound completely shifts the mood of a room. This vibe was more like a house show than an office, which put me in a pensive, pleasant place. Sit back and enjoy.
Set List
"Please"
"Taste"
"Song For You"

I appreciate the fact that Mike Milosh started talking to his wife when she were 16 and he were in his 30s and they married when she were 20 and he were in his late 30s and now she's an activist against groomers and abusers in entertainment. I think that's really neat.
It's not just the pitch/register that made me picture Rhye as having a female lead vocal. There's an airy quality that made me think of Sade... (who apparently turned 60 recently!)

You know what else is effortless? Talking to a 16 year old who loves your music when you're in your 30s and then marrying her 4 years later. Because that's what Rhye did and they've since divorced and now she's an activist against groomers and abusers in the entertainment biz.

The most glaring evidence is the fact that she was a minor when they met and he was a whole grown man in his 30s. They got married when she was barely of age. That’s considered grooming. I’m just as disappointed as you guys to learn of all of this because I am obsessed with this man’s talent and art but this has really soured things for me.

I saw Rhye at Union Transfer in Philly a little while after Woman was released and I can still say that was the greatest show I've ever been to. I went with a very dear friend and the crowd was so well behaved that when they went over their time, Milosh asked us all to promise to remain so, so quiet so he could deliver an A Capella encore. The thought is still so fresh and warm.
It's not a music it's magic!!!
The artistry, the precision of sound with all those instruments together, is mind-blowing. The live in Paris airport show shows that too. This is musical perfection.

I find it incredible that as humans we are so talented to create this kind of art that transmits so much love and at the same time we are capable of destroying ourselves, killing animals and being so selfish. It is good to find these spaces of peace every so often. Thank you Rhye and NPR. 😊

Such beautiful melodies with each instrument doing what they're supposed to do without overpowering one another. Thank you NPR for giving me what I need during this crazy time in our lives.

When COVID first started in China, I was too anxious and I had to listen to this video every night to go to sleep. Thanks Rhye. Thanks tiny desk.
What an insanely talented group of musicians… everyone is exercising an incredible amount of restraint, while staying on time, in the pocket, and vibing together. Even in moments when the timing shifts, everybody is still together, and it still manages to be the kind of “rocking out” that wouldn’t even keep your neighbors up. Love what y’all do!
Thx to the Audio Engineer! Great Job and one of the best mixes, ever heard!

Jesus. Got me twice tonight. Commenting twice on two separate videos of the same song. So much talent in this room. I'm amazed at how you all work together. Holy wow. See me fall from your eyes to your waist. What an amazing lyric. Thanks again.
So glad they're back and that this album is as good as 'Woman'. Same amazing sound. I remember when I thought it was a woman singing too, but that only lasted for a couple months and became a true fan. I will forever be thankful to CBC Radio 2's show "The Signal" with Laurie Brown for introducing me to this band.
this is so incredible i have no words. the harmonies are just WOW

This was so beautiful! I feel bad and sad for never heard of them before
Still haven't had the pleasure to see Rhye in my city. Thanks for bringing them to my living room.
rhye really touched my soul. milosh has a beautiful voice and his lyrics go so deep. during my entire studies i retreated to their music in stressful times and even after many years their songs still bring me bliss :)
Classy, unique, simple and magnificent.
so surprised to hear that everyone thought Rhye was a woman. I first heard the music here. Such a great reminder to us all that perspectives define our reality. But its the intersection of our realities that matters.
i'll forever love this performance
