Everything about this band’s perfomance is why I watch Tiny Desk. Unique and theatrical with an 11-piece band in a small space. Dahl was enthralling and bewitching. It’s “out there”, but that’s exactly what they’re going for. Can’t wait to check them out on the road!
Knowing the story of how Hailey Dahl was attacked and robbed really makes Madison even more emotional and impactful. So glad I found out about Sloppy Jane and the beautiful chaos they bring.
I love how uncomfortable people are with this band. It makes me love them more. Good art makes people react, and based on the very unkind and unthoughtful comments, they really succeeded! I’m so happy I checked this out and found my new favorite band!
Haley Dahl and Sloppy Jane have managed to do what few; if any, band has managed to do. Take the band 180 degree musically. From a punk band to the Avant Gard Art Rock of Willow to the ethereal sounds of Madison. And she doesn't disappoint. I thought I would miss the raw punk power of songs like "Glitte rSpitt" and "King Mitis" but the fragile melody of Madison are quite charming and beautiful on their own. Haley Dahl will be famous some day for something. A very creative young woman who's star will shine.
I'm just imagining how Tiny Desk fans would react to Lingua Ignota after this performance, and jeez I don't think that'd go well for the audience (but I know I'd love it).
it's really funny seeing people say this performance is disturbing, because 1) that's the exact sort of feeling they're going for, and 2) this might be the most refined and focused performance I've seen from them lol
I think the negative comments stem from a place of creative undernourishment. Having an outlet to express and communicate your emotions lead to some weird and wonderful conceptions! This is my first time listening to Sloppy Jane; I'm intrigued and can't wait to check out their other stuff.
I said this in a comment somewhere else but I think you hit the nail on the head. I truly believe not having a creative outlet to take pride in leads to that type of anger. They could literally move on without being negative, but they stop and put their unhappiness into words for a reason.
That was the weirdest Tiny Desk I’ve ever watched but it was one of the absolute best!! I really enjoyed her vocals and her mannerisms in addition to how her guitarist(blonde lady) was able to work with her in addition to piano and strings! I’ll be buying the Madison album and adding to my collection in addition to adding this performance to my playlists!
I keep searching and can't find any negative comments....Never heard of this band and almost bailed out when I first clicked on this, but I started reading comments and now I'm like 7 minutes in and the strings and pedal steel guitar have securely wrapped around my inner core and are pulling me closer and closer. I can now see a light in the distance, slowly expanding in a kaleidoscopic paisley explosion of pure expression. I have forgotten who I am and no longer feel part on this world
I only learned of Sloppy Jane less than a week ago, by way of a NYTimes piece where the writer spent time with the band, while they recorded Madison in a cave. I was very intrigued by the story and loved the idea of recording an album inside a cave. Then I listened to the Madison album here on TH-cam. Words that came to mind were: dark, 'original', disturbing, witty, beautiful.... I've listened to the album now, a few times, and...there seems to be a 'story'....the mention of a policeman on her bumper (if I recall correctly)...the young girl that was murdered...and then she (the album protagonist) hiding from the man she killed with her car. And then there's the song about the horses, as well as the blue horse on the album cover. Very intrigued about the overall storyline... In any case, when I first listened to this album in my apartment, instead of it just playing in the background while I, say, washed dishes (lol) ...and which is typical for me, as I listen to music CONSTANTLY...with Madison, I found myself planting myself in front of my PC, sitting there, and really LISTENING. I imagined myself in a performance space, listening to this, Live. And I was just dumbstruck at the genius of this music... I would describe the album as an aural work of art, from start to finish. Now having said that, after listening to Madison, I checked out other Sloppy Jane music. It's hard to categorize (as I suppose Madison would be), but the other music I heard was dark, frenetic, and while with a cursory listen it may seem like 'garbage' to some, it was clear to me that the sometimes off-sounding chords were all very intentional. I'm not a fan of 'weird' or in-your-face music or bands and who are this way, just for the sake of it. Sloppy Jane is not 'simply' strange. There is a clear intelligence, forethought and creative genius behind it. I am now officially obsessed. ;-) I only came across this literally just-posted-today Tiny Desk concert by Sloppy Jane (which, BTW, I was elated to see) only because I was on TH-cam, yet again, trying to find more videos of Sloppy Jane and their other works...
@@RobertSlover I think people who spent this much time honing their skills can definitely hear for themselves whether they like the music or not. So calling it a shame it a bit arrogant to say the least.
@@RobertSlover What's hard to understand? You call it shame that these people play in this band. They are skilled enough to know what they like and don't like musically.
Haley Dahl seems to be influenced by the pop theater approaches as performed by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, the band's style reminds me of the Hadestown concert at NPR tiny desk.
So much hate for this incredible band in the comments. One of the most interesting groups making music right now. So glad they're getting some recognition.
@@RobertSlover If that were the case then every band would be just sitting in folding chairs while they play, or standing motionless and unemotional. This seems obvious but apparently necessary to say, but performances have always had elements of performance. Sets, costumes, lighting, even just movement on stage.

Not heard of this band before, but I'm definitely feeling it. Wonderfully bonkers performance from the lead singer. I'll be catching up on their back catalogue.
Hard to understand why there so much bad opinion on this. Might not be your taste as a performance but they is so much Music in these and so much personal involvement At least people should recognize this
The crazy thing about opinions is that people can choose to not recognize the musicianship or effort or anything, for that matter. What you find valuable in this performance is not something other people have to recognize. There is no objective truth to music. I happen to agree with you that this performance has value, though.
@@upsdelft Do get your point but I would just rather quit looking but not leaving a negative feedback but as you say everyone is untitled to his own opinion
Omg sloppy Jane has evolved alot i remember it was a girl surf punk band i saw at the church of fun and she had a teddy 🧸 bear with her . Now this! Still very great! Wow its been 8 year's 😳 😊😩
@@RobertSlover Do you feel the same about artists like Alice Cooper? Plenty of artists turn their music into a full experience. There's nothing wrong with it. I love artists like this. Just because you don't doesn't actually make it bad.
I see some Amanda Palmer influence for sure. If Dresden Dolls go back on tour (possibility), you should figure out how to get in touch with her. She would love you. I don't hear what everyone else hates so much I guess. It's unique and interesting so far. Some people turn a live show into an actual show. This is a great example of that. Just because it's not your thing, doesn't mean it's bad. It's just not your thing. The end of the second song is supposed to sound like chaos, for instance.
@@codylatimer29 She's on lock down in New Zealand right now and getting a bit stir crazy. I love that I see her out in the internet wild, though. She made an announcement recently that Dresden Dolls will go on tour again. I think she's waiting to be out of lock down before she makes any official announcements that are less vague though.
Recorded in a cave in Virginia!!?!😳 Super Cool!😝4:20 I felt that😔pulled at my heart strings. Page to page door to door.🎶 Jesus' in your living room floor. Madison is gonna be great!📀🥀
@@RobertSlover What makes you think Frank would hate this? The man was a musical innovator who loved craziness and whimsical elements in music. Is that not present here?
@@RobertSlover you must think that just because you’re a jazz aficionado anything you make is automatically better. I’m a jazz musician as well and I’m enough of a mature musician to realize that it’s all valid regardless of if it bothers you or not. Get with the times.

Agree! They reached a point where the most ‘ out there’ envelope pushing thing they could do was make an unabashedly pretty album. And they nailed it!

It’s nice to see an artist actually doing a home concert where they live.
I love the Madison album but was super concerned if it'd tame Haley but as made clear on this one, it hasn't and it's wonderful.
It's different, raw, far from perfect and a bit disturbing. Love it !
those strings!!!! literally so good, they way the second song explodes at the end into madness, it's amazing
the strings are solid. its a shame there wasted on sub par "music"....

Gorgeous. The arc of tension in the second song. The groove in the third!

they brought their own tiny desk
Ya know, this was theatrical, however, it seems as if everyone was free and drifting in the beauty and chaos and art, together.
In a year that has been tumultuous and self destructive and transitional for me, this band is the best thing I've discovered this year.
Im so in love with this band and this band. ALBUM OF THE YEAR!
Glad I found this. Discovered Sloppy Jane through Bloodfeast Presents on adult swim and I've loved them ever since. One of a kind band
Just recently found out about this band and artist. Truly an original and has fantastic vision! Cheers Y'all!!
