I maintain that this is one of the most impressive tiny desk performances

this performance will forever be one of my favorites, endless days/ nights singing these tunes at the top of my lungs

Since it isn't already listed in the video, the people playing are: Sharon Silva - Electric Guitar (Black Shirt) Kinsey Lee - Banjo/Harmonium Mackenzie Howe - Electric Guitar (Flower Shirt) Nick Phakpiseth - Bass Nick Jones - Drums

I remember when I had moved to Colorado and I had no families or friends around me at first. I went to their concert by myself. It was weird and euphoric at the same time. I’ll always remember that little show at the Ogden.

Did I just fall in love three consecutive times in under 15 minutes? Yep.

They're using a harmonium. Just hearing the performance, I would never have imagined it as one of the instruments I was hearing. But here I am. See it being used so perfectly outside the traditional south asian music.

One of the best npr tiny desk. Love the voices

Many times I have returned to this NPR of Wild Reeds. It's beautiful. As good as anything.

The second song, Everyting Looks Better In Hindsight, has so much raw emotion. she went through this and delivers the song so honestly its just beautiful.

You could not go wrong on a random NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert playlist, ever!

MTV Unplugged used to be the raw, broken down versions of bands/singers, but this is even more intimate, more raw, and definitely more diverse.

I'll never stop coming back to this short set.

Tiny Desks finds a way to show the true 'artist' in every musician/band on this show. These ladies are another great example of that!

My mind travels through memories, I'll only remember the sweetest things

I stood on a train yesterday and The World We Built started playing, I have never more proudly cried in front of another man in my entire life, it goes hard 100%

I have a couple of their albums, but this blows them away. I wish NPR would release ways to purchase music from the Tiny Desk Concerts or, heck, just record the whole albums for these groups. Their sound producers and engineers are fantastic.

One of these concerts that make you stop on your tracks during your workday and forget what you were working on.

Love that second song! Homegirl just hanging in the back strumming all mousy and unassuming, then "Hold up, let me destroy your emotions with my voice real quick." Very beautiful!

Saw them at Nelsonville Music Festival​ last year and they were great. Each lady led a different song that reflected slightly different musical styles. A talented group and I'm glad they're getting exposure.

I just want to say thank you NPR, you always bring the most amazing musicians to tiny desk.. I love you ❤️

oh wait... they all can sing? and are all amazing? awesome!

Thanks Tiny Desk Folks. These ladies have a sound that is reminiscent of the Roche sisters at their best Thank you Wild Reeds for your beautiful insights into Love and life and feeding them to us in the sweetest of harmonies!

that "love is a choice every morning" fackin got me so it did!! :D Beautiful harmony :)

i am STARING theyre all so lovely and incredibly talented

I get chills literally every time I listen to Hindsight.

amazing! they are all great singers and musicians obviously. vocals are spot on.you can tell they feel the music deeply. i love when the girl on the first song yells. even her yelling sounds amazing and it adds another dimension to the emotion and feel of the music.

love the vocalist singing Everything Looks Better In Hindsight. warm, lovely voice. almost reminiscent to Angel Olsen's lower timbre

My god. I clicked without knowing who they were and I sure got a shock! As soon as the started playing I remembered hearing that first song a while back but had forgot all about it! Such a good song

Back for more! The two gentleman in the back are an intrigal essential for the three aspects of ourselves to ring true! WOW AMAZING!

Wow. Also - Wow. The first two songs are so raw and heartfelt and gorgeous it just wrecks me.

I love this music, greetings from Berlin, Germany !!! Thx

I listened to this one on the way to work one morning a couple years ago and meant to save it for later, because the scene that is set in the second song has been stuck with me ever since I heard it, but could never find the way to describe the lyrics, because it’s just such a vivid picture that is described in such a beautiful way. Anyways, I’ve been trying to find this again and was almost beginning to think it wasn’t a Tiny Desk performance that I’d heard that song on. But today, I’ve finally found it. I’m complete.
