NPR: Tiny Desk Concerts

NPR never fails to have great live performances from artists playing in their All Things Considered office. Each artist that plays a set usually plays 3 songs. The cool part about these concerts is that that you can really get a sense of the band's personality, and not just their music.

This particular concert is with Local Natives. They are an LA based band that are said to have, "indie-rock arrangements, clattering Afrobeat rhythms and euphoric chamber-pop harmonies [that] may be what invites listeners in, but the lyrics contain just as much depth and nuance." said Michael Katzif from NPR. I first loved Local Natives when I heard their song, Sun Hands. It just makes you want to sing along and move around when it opens with quick drumbeats.  They have a very unique sound and are really growing into their own style. I can't wait to see what they do next!
