I adore Angel and i'm glad to see her get back to her folkier roots. This was magic. I loved the porch setting and the nature sounds - it was visceral and it felt like we were sitting there with her.
Looks like she's muttering a shopping list to herself. Sounds like a beautifully produced and comped album-quality studio recording. So casually incredible.
All Mirrors is my favorite album of hers, but there’s something so authentic about her acoustic work on Whole New Mess that is so endearing. Love her so much
Angel's music has helped me through some difficult times and everytime she releases something, be a new record or a new performance is like opening a present from a stranded but dear friend.
Healing from a shattered heart... "Now baby, I'm lying Laid out and smiling Look out my window The sun is shining I'm waving, smiling At love forever Alive and dying I'm waving, smiling At love forever Alive and dying" Angel, you always got me in my feels!
I've listened to her music for 9 years now and I wouldn't be the same person without having heard it. This is yet another gem . Please keep this video posted! Thanks for sharing this show
" just because you love someone doesn't mean you're in love" . Thank you, Ms. Olsen for so eloquently putting what's so heavy on my heart into music. 🙏🖤
Angel is one of the best lyricists I've ever seen! Paired with her voice and the simple guitar and her ability to transmit and evoke so much emotion, it's just magical. We have all been blessed!
Picture it. It’s autumn. A cool 52 degrees outside. The sun is just beginning to make her appearance. Rain is lightly tapping on the roof. You just poured a cup of coffee (or tea). You take it over to the sofa where you curl up with a warm blanket for a few minutes before you start your day. And this is what you’re listening to while sipping on your fresh brew. ❤️
The Heart Of A Blackbird -- No sweat. Me either. I was just saying that you managed to put a name to some question that was wafting around in my head. Cheers
everyone knows she can rock, but its always a joy to share Iota with my friends who are getting into her music. its a personal favorite, and it still sounds just as good as it does on the album. can't believe its been 6 years since burn your fire for no witness.
Angel olsen is a force of nature. There are very few out there with raw talent and passion like this. She’s truly special and her voice reminds me of being around a campfire in fall at sunset.
Hi NPR! Amazing content as usual, really nice to wake up with Angel's in the background. Just a small tip, If you add the songs timestamps in the video description it would be really useful for us to navigate between songs!
I wish I could compare myself to somebody. I don't see myself reflected out there in the world. I mean, I write what I like, and I get positive feedback, but people seem to go gaga for music that I just don't get. But that could be the ASD. (Sorry...just thinking out loud.)
What an incredible artist. Both live and in studio. Her brilliance always leaves me floored with admiration. God, we really deserve this talent. What an angel
this performance just tucked me in bed and kissed my forehead and sent me to sleep
miss Olsen providing us with crying material

Seems like my "I just broke up" kit has a new item
Birds chirped right back when she said goodbye. So wholesome this concert is.
Sweet Angel Olsen and her sweet Silvertone Thin Twin 1382L Jimmy Reed.
I love the beautiful treetop-porch venue. Thank you NPR!
Chip Olmstead thanks, I was straining my eyes looking at the headstock decal .
Wanted to ask about the guitar. Thanks for answering my question before I asked!

Laid out and smiling

The sun is shining

At love forever
Alive and dying

Angel, you always got me in my feels!
There's something sooo magical about this recording. The ambient wind blowing sound with angel's voice. Authentic.
She's the only Angel I believe in.
That's right. I said it.
Amazing vibes. Idk how she does it, but weird chords sounds magical and her voice is truly unique.
I've listened to her music for 9 years now and I wouldn't be the same person without having heard it. This is yet another gem . Please keep this video posted! Thanks for sharing this show
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Angel Olsen
Finally, something from the goddess herself to brighten the lost ones. the only thing that I cherish in 2020.
Whenever she sings i feel drawn to simpler times and deeper enjoyment of song. Beautiful performance in a serene place.
one thing about her? she’s here to make us cry. simply.
NPR Tiny Desk sessions keeping our hearts warm during these messy times. Highly appreciated would be an understatement

If the evening took me, and this was the last set I would hear. I would leave happily and grateful. Thank you, Angel Olsen.

How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Spot on
I didn't mean this as derogatory...I even write songs that sound like Harrison sometimes. He is not a bad guy to emulate. :)

B/c people sleep on Angel and I don’t understand why! I truly believe she is one of our generations most important artists

You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Angel Olsen
for anyone wondering, the microphone that she's using is an AKG C414 XLII
i couldnt click any quicker
Her voice is otherworldly. Superb solo mini set. One of the best I've seen of her.
can't stop listening to this Tiny Desk. She is so amazing

Desde Andalucía ♥️♥️♥️ Te queremos, Angel 🌼🌼🌼 Mis perras 🐕🐕 te escuchan mientras duermen 😘
Standing ovation, what a special performance.
i love how she ends with waving, smiling and how it's written from the perspective of the person she's saying goodbye to
I m glad she brought Iota back ❤
Thumbnail looks like Ellie playing the guitar from Last of Us 2
You beat me to it haha, I was like "Daaaang, the ps5 version looks slick" ;-)
Wonderful, your channel inspired me to start my piano channel.
I think this is one of my new most favorite tiny desks
such a treat to hear iota nestled around the stellar new tracks! 🌠💞🌿
Please invite Jacob Banks to Tiny Desk
Oh god, I feel like I've been enveloped in a velvet rainbow curtain ocean...what a rich voice, aow, mmm. Mmmm. Lovely***
"I'm here with my not-so-tiny-desk." Lol.
I hadn't heard Waving, Smiling before. Wow! Just beautiful.
Wow, I loved this stripped down performance. So raw and honest
It's weird looking back now on these sessions that were done during the Covid lockdown. It seemed like it would never end.

The right one
Somebody answered but not as a reply to you.

@@andygump724 the truth
I accidently listened to this at 1.75x speed and loved it
Every time i hear her Time slows down. Right down. So beautiful.
Love her new record, and i loved this performance too
This version of Iota is just heaven. Pure style and ease.
Your melancholy and sad sound it helps to take out my sad and melancholy. Thanks Angel
this set doesnt even look real !!! it looks like the last of us or something
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ANGEL 💘 CHANCE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS 🎵
Wow... why am I just now knowing about this gem? Very nice. . .
Really likes E Major
It's the openest of chords.
She is so unique. Gotta love her.
Sounds like a 1950's jukebox in a forgotten tavern recorded with modern gear.
Iota, what a pleasant surprise. Also, love that guitar :D
Make a whole New Mexican? Viva la green chile!
miss aubrey plaza thank u
I literally just covered "may as well" on my acoustic for a girl I like last week. This is such a blessing, thank you npr.

"Waving, smiling" got me...the feels....

I truly adore Angel. Her music makes me long for love and beauty.

i love lota baby
I truly enjoy seeing the artists in the spaces. I know this has been introvert heaven. I hope one day we can get to see sauti sol on this channel
So good. Waving, Smiling makes me cry and it's my therapy now. love you
I love Angel. She’s so singular, I can never find anyone to compare her to, when I tell a new listener.
I wish I could compare myself to somebody. I don't see myself reflected out there in the world. I mean, I write what I like, and I get positive feedback, but people seem to go gaga for music that I just don't get. But that could be the ASD. (Sorry...just thinking out loud.)
Got a Last of Us 2 vibe with that thumbnail
Jesus Christ
This is so awesome, reminds me of Half Way Home one of my favorite albums of all time. ♥
Thanks for the beautiful music!
What an incredible artist. Both live and in studio. Her brilliance always leaves me floored with admiration. God, we really deserve this talent. What an angel
