Sad13: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Lars Gotrich | October 30, 2020
"We weren't sure what to wear and the only thing we could agree on was devil costumes." In a pink wig, blue horns and a purple cheerleading outfit, Sadie Dupuis brings a brightly ghoulish spirit to her Tiny Desk (home) concert, just in time for Halloween.
Haunted Painting, her terrific new album as Sad13, is, in part, about metaphorical and literal ghosts: their weight and place in your life, but blasted with the sonic glee of a neon rainbow. While Dupuis' guitar unmistakably squiggles with a vocal vibrato to match, Sad13's pop sensibility differentiates from her other band, Speedy Ortiz; these sweet-and-sour songs explode with creative arrangements and nerdy production techniques.
Recording separately from their homes in Philly, New York and Stamford, Conn., Sad13 (featuring drummer Zoë Brecher and bassist Audrey Zee Whitesides) doesn't so much slim down the wild details but finds different textures in these songs. "Hysterical," in particular, leans into a fuzzy space-age boogie, as Dupuis hooks up her Farfisa organ to an array of effects pedals, sounding like one of Joe Meek's idiosyncratic productions from the 1960s.
Sad13's set ends with "Take Care," a song that beautifully blossoms from grief. "It's about caring for and missing people to an extent that's detrimental to your own well-being," she shares as cellist Sasha Ono and violinist Camellia Hartman take their virtual places. "I think, as we're all secluded and cloistered away from the people we care about, this one's been resonating harder with me than it did when I recorded it."

To whoever selects the performers for these: you have unexpectedly delighted me for the last three years at least once a week. NPR music has measurably improved the overall happiness of my life. Thank you!
One of my favorite new bands. Sadie Dupuis is an immensely talented musician, lyricist, and producer, and “WTD?” is brilliant. Thanks, NPR!
Looove Sadie dupuis! She is so talented and a real artist. Bet y’all didn’t know she has a master’s degree in poetry. That’s why her lyrics are always fire 🔥
0:00 - *Oops...!* (3:49) 5:09 - *Hysterical* (9:05) 9:45 - *WTD?* (13:31) 14:24 - *Take Care*
Why are there so many dislikes... this band is clearly really talented, and I can't imagine that theres really this extreme of a ratio of people who dislike this band to those who like it? So strange...

Love the warped and off-kilter beautiful sounds.
The costume is cute, and music is cute too.
Listen to this every gym session. Love this album!
Excellent! Love this. Sadie is so talented!

yes! I was thinking her voice/vibe is a mix of Susanna Hoffs and Tanya Donnelly of Belly.
This was masterful and incredibly inspiring. Thank you for working this virtual colab out. ♥ ♥ ♥
Sadie is very talented, love her work with Speedy Ortiz, and also this sounds nice, i don't get why some people are mad at this
I like their style. Thanks for the spooky introduction, NPR.
Thank you Sad13 and Tiny Desk! That was fun! :-))
I love her cute Artemis mug in the back hehe
Wooooooo, love it! Thank you Tiny desk for injecting fresh music into my life
like if hd video cameras would be widely available somewhere in 2010
Cool guitar. Sounds great.
I listened to so much Speedy Ortiz yesterday!
I have not heard of this band before but i really hope this is just what they wear all the time.
Beautiful music, beautiful people
Love this, thank you :)
Raw gem. Very raw. Not something I would put on, perhaps a younger version of my self in a parallel universe.
Bass with fangs...yes please!
Love it. Super chill
i like it! they seem like fun people to hang out with :)

Bad taste
I am so confused by the children of today. Genius techno chics? Someone please explain im old.
Wow, they just let anyone take the mic nowadays
I tried...sorry, singer just does not sound good to me. :(
The vocals are so pitchy and out of tune.
I enjoy Tiny Desk. Only thing NPR has going for it is Tiny Desk. They’ve proven to be incapable of objectivity in regards to reporting news. So there’s that.. And btw- these dudes are mediocre. So am I, but I’m not on Tiny Desk. How do these student alt rock bands get this kind of exposure?

Npr has so many amazing musicians on...to unsubscribe, just because some don’t resonate, means you miss out on the other incredible musicians. This isn’t my appealing to me either...but I’m not going to block seeing all the others, because I’m not a fan of this group. Unsubscribing seems like an overreaction.
