Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

June 6, 2016 by STEPHEN THOMPSON • Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop visited NPR's offices on what may well be 2016's most beautiful day so far: perfectly warm and sunny, uncharacteristically dry, and perfect for lounging happily on the roof deck just around the corner from the Tiny Desk. Hoop and Beam did just that, hanging out amiably for hours after their show ended, as part of one of the most comfortable and relaxing days in the history of NPR Music.
The music itself was gorgeous to match, as the two performed three songs from their new collaborative record, Love Letters For Fire. If you haven't yet heard it, the album's sound fits right where you'd hope it would: between the inventive hookiness of Hoop's terrific solo work and the more somber ruminations of the work Beam makes at the head of Iron & Wine. Weeks later, watching their performance is like recapturing a little slice of that spring day, just when we need it most.
Love Letters For Fire is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/lov...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Love-Letter-Fir...
SET LIST:
"Sailor To Siren"
"Know The Wild That Wants You"
"Every Songbird Says"

Producers: Bob Boilen, Niki Walker; Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Niki Walker, Kara Frame; Production Assistant: Jackson Sinnenberg; Photo: Brandon Chew/NPR.

    I'm so grateful for the album they did together. My wife and I quickly became obsessed with it, listening to it non-stop. One day I caught my wife singing the harmonies, and I grabbed my guitar and finally convinced her to sing with me.

    His tuning is DADGAD, but tuned down to B. So, for example, you can play "Sailor to Siren" in standard DADGAD since he has a capo on the 3rd fret.Chords: 000700, 500400, 700600 and 900700

Sad that billions lived without, awesome that we're just stepping through a new door. Thank you to everyone involved.
