Some of us just come here for the music. We get enough politics on other sites. I stopped listening to Radio 6 in the UK because of DJs with good musical taste and terrible political preferences they couldn't stop sharing. Ruined it for me.
sashafierce1011 I’m glad you said so. I wasn’t feeling it, but when I read your comment I decided to actually break out the good headphones and turn up the volume. Glad you swayed me to return.
i’m sad they did two violins and a cello and not a violin, viola, and cello. the viola would’ve brought some gorgeous depth to the middle voice. more balanced.
Honestly, I've listened to EVERYTHING alt-j has put out, and there hasn't been ONE song that I haven't fallen in love with. 10/10 band, would recommend.
Mia Grace some of the stuff on relaxer just goes over my head. I‘m simply not smart enough for it. Most of reduxer also isn’t for me but all in all I have to agree with you.
Relaxer was a bit of a let down for me, it seemed a bit rushed and thin compared to the first two albums. Although they are hard to top anyway, I always come back to them
Jose Triana last night at their concert at the O2 they played taro halfway through and then finished with fitzpleasure which actually fitted quite well too!
I started listening to Alt-J again, don't know why ever stopped. When they played Taro a rush of memories came back to me the minute I heard the guitar. What a beautiful song with so many happy beautiful memories attached. Back then, the world for me seemed so much more vibrant and colourful. As I've grown up, the colour drains each year. Listening to this song brings some of the colour back.
J'ai pleuré instantanément en écoutant Taro. C'est magnifiquement chanté, le doux du ton tranchant avec la dureté des paroles. Toutes mes félicitations Alt-J, vous êtes géniaux.
Taro has been one of my favorite songs for years. When I'm bored at work, I'll write out the lyrics from memory, it's so beautiful. This is the first time I've seen it live like this though!
This was wonderful to listen through. When they said they were going to play a song from their first album and said "Taro," I couldn't remember which one it was. Then they started playing it and I was immediately whisked back to the Summer of 2013 and filled with a million memories. Losing my job, almost killing myself, calling my ex in tears who came to help me and he hugged and then kissed me and said, "I don't want a relationship," moving into a dirty apartment with a wonderful lady where we never turned on the AC and always had the windows open to the almost dirty kind of downtown area. 85 degrees at home always. Working a bunch of different oddball jobs on campus. Taking calculus based physics. Ex saying he adored me, then saying we have to stop because he's going on a date, coming back and saying he didn't realize how much he cared for me and how wonderful I was. Going over to his place, him hiding me from his roommates at first. Me becoming obsessed with cleaning and plants as a form of control and fostering growth in something else when I couldn't foster it in myself. Getting into yoga, always showing up to class smelling of bleach after scrubbing my bathroom for two hours and with dirt under my fingernails from taking care of my plants. As soon as they started playing Taro when I listened through today, I fell to my knees and started ugly crying. Crazy what music can do to you. Kind of a strange tmi story, but wanted to share it. Now I work a stable corporate job, live in a nice apartment, have a normal boyfriend, live a simple normal life. Interesting to think back on the more strange times and realize, "I lived that."
I know that you posted this story a while ago but I just want to thank you for doing so. For some reason your story resonated with me. I'm glad things are better for you now.
It's been a year since you wrote that comment, we don't know each other, we live in completely opposite countries (Venezuela says hi); nevertheless, I feel strongly related to your personal story. I am myself going through some stuff, and it's always reassuring to find people being this vulnerable and open to show others that you can keep moving forward, that you can come out successful at the end. Hope you're doing well, and hope to, one day, look back the same way as you and say "I lived that, came out victorious". Good vibes to you, bless!
pleader is a good one too. The only song I found hard to like was hit me like that snare..sounds like raging hormonal teens playing music for the first time after getting high.. I was just not feeling that vibe..lol
Admittedly, of the dozens of time I’ve visited this incredible little concert, I’ve never taken the time to read through he description. I’m so glad I did. The strings were so utterly enjoyable and I’ve often wondered how this magic came to be. The adoration and enthusiasm of the cellist is a thing to behold. I share the stars in her eyes. Thank you for the peek behind the curtain. 💕
funny - I was just watching "in cold blood" thinking "wow, his rhythm is all over the place. I wonder if this song is going to fly apart." But they kept it together. Love this concert.
I was so bummed that they canceled their tour stop in Milwaukee, WI due to logistical issues, but decided at the last minute to play an acoustic set at a very small venue this Friday, March 18th for $35, I couldn't be happier!
This intro song...I keep wanting to revisit. It's intoxicating, Relaxer indeed. I love Alt-J. These guys are so good live. The cellist seemed to really dig the mood of the song as it developed too, that is fun to watch, so chill.
Currently the eighth time I've listened in the three days. Absolutely stellar new take on music we've got here. Wonderful job on the strings too! Truly atmospheric music.
This was pure magic. I was completely captivated. I've always loved how your music and artistry keep me guessing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with the world.
I do not know their names but gosh love them, every time I have a mental breakdown or a stress crisis, these guys soothe me with their music and I can stand on my feet again! Thank you!
A wonderful friend of mine, from many years ago, first introduced me to alt-j and what an incredible experience it has been...I've been following their music ever since and they never disappoint...a truly magnificent, quirky and immensely talented band. Love them and this.

@ulises albarran Or the previous 17 minutes. He looks exactly like a man with long hair to me, but then I always was good at differentiating between men and women just by looking.
Saw Alt J in Bristol in about 2013 ish I think. Friend of mine got an EP with Fitzpleasure on, which we wore out. So we booked the gig, about 150 capacity, and then before the date came round they sort of took off and the gig got postponed a few times. Eventually they got to the gig, and it was obviously too small for them but we appreciated they honored it. They turned up, played the album perfectly plus one additional song which was a Kylie Minogue cover I think. Everyone was impressed by the quality, but a huge lack of stage presence, and perhaps appreciation for everyone there who were among the first to support them. Still, amazing creativity, authenticity and quality music.
As if I wasn't already completely in love with Joe Newman, seeing him blush after missing a note near the end of Taro just melted my whole entire heart.
Alt J is one of my favourite bands of all time, if not my favourite, and Taro one of my favourite songs. There's just a uniqueness to their music, I don't think anyone could ever recreate their sound. Their music is just so emotive, you could go on for hours and not pick up a single lyric but the instrumentals behind it all are just carrying your mind and soul as if you're in a cloud floating about on these waves of sound, and other times you barely pick up the instrumentals but the lyrics are telling the most beautiful story so simply yet with so much depth, and on the days when you absorb the lyrics and the instrumentals all together as one it's like you're being levelled up to another realm of understanding, every lyric, every beat, every strum of a guitar just flutters through your veins and ripples over your skin and a story unlike anything really is heard and understood and it shows itself so clearly it's like you're watching it unfold right in your eyes. I really love everything Alt J does.a
There's no song that I like more than Taro in this stiring version. I also loved how he reacted when noticing the next song would be that one! Simply awesome... ALT J, you guys are the best. I dream about going to a concert of yours.
Love the work of this guys (NPR) for bring so talented bands to perform. From Mac Miller to Alt-J, fromCafé Tacvba to Tash Sultana. Keep on fire and thanks for so many good performances. 😍
The bass notes in these songs were intoxicating...WOW. Never heard of them, but NOW I have. Great job!! I LOVE TINY DESK!!! It introduces me to SOOO MANY artists and groups!! And when you included my hometown Tech-N9ne...I am FOREVER hooked!!!

It's ok I'll pass.
hard pass
ceart go leor
What's Up?
Some of us just come here for the music. We get enough politics on other sites. I stopped listening to Radio 6 in the UK because of DJs with good musical taste and terrible political preferences they couldn't stop sharing. Ruined it for me.
didn't know these songs can be performed live so perfectly.
Me too..I'm surprised.
I've been to their concert tour last Friday and they are absolutely incredible in live performance.
Truuuue
well if each member of the band only has to play 3 notes over and over again, not too challenging!
Taro is such a work of art. They're extremely talented.
ikrr i frekinn know rightt likeee!! I've been listening to it on loop !!
Couldn't agree more
A work o'fart
Innndo-
This is one of the few bands that every time I listen to them, it's like the first time hearing music for the first time.
To me it feels like the first time hearing music for the second time.
zombievey wow you put this in words better than I could in my head lol
Wow!!!! Perfect way to say it!! 100%
How high were you when you wrote this? What, about 5'6", 5'7"?
I feel this 100000%
It's nuts how amazing their drummer is. He's only got a bass, snare, and an egg shaker.
and hes practically deaf
Brandon Taylor 🙄🙄🙄
Don't forget the cowbell
Can you name a better drummer from this decade and genre? I love it
@@jennaknight1012 Danny Carey
I love alt-J, though whenever I see Gus, I see a man wearing those glasses with fake eyebrows, nose and moustache attached.
Oh man, I can't unsee.
I almost spit what I was drinking hahahahahahaha
I can't not see this and I hate you for this....
I thought there was something about his face that was really familiar
that makes this tiny desk, 10x better at least. thank you
I always thought that "that" voice belonged to the moustached guy
Which, the Elmer Fudd voice?
The one that actually belonged to the blond guy
well, you weren't wrong, he has a moustache as well ;)
omg me too I'm so confussed right now
ignorant :(
I have to say the strings add a beautifully tangible fullness.
sashafierce1011 I’m glad you said so. I wasn’t feeling it, but when I read your comment I decided to actually break out the good headphones and turn up the volume. Glad you swayed me to return.
@@estevanphillips6889 beautiful through the headphones. Especially if you're only listening on a phone
i’m sad they did two violins and a cello and not a violin, viola, and cello. the viola would’ve brought some gorgeous depth to the middle voice. more balanced.
Those voices did NOT belong to the people I thought they did 😂
yah
got me LOLing
you are not alone. i saw the blonde dude singing and i was blown away
hahahahha exactly
Yeah You tube keeps doing this to me
The 15:00 failed "Ready.... *spronk* Oops... hey Taro!" gets me every time! Joe's proceeding rouge is a thing of beauty! :D!
Dude,that is my favorite. Thats art. The "flaw" is the most beautiful part.
He was so embarrassed but I honestly loved it. So authentic, and it worked. It was beautiful
@@102sydney haha absolutely. I love the way they both keep their heads down while laughing to themselves!
Honestly, I've listened to EVERYTHING alt-j has put out, and there hasn't been ONE song that I haven't fallen in love with. 10/10 band, would recommend.
agreed!
Mia Grace some of the stuff on relaxer just goes over my head. I‘m simply not smart enough for it. Most of reduxer also isn’t for me but all in all I have to agree with you.
@@robertschneider8808 reduxer sucks, relaxer is great except for last year
Relaxer was a bit of a let down for me, it seemed a bit rushed and thin compared to the first two albums. Although they are hard to top anyway, I always come back to them
Mia Grace thanks!!
petition for a bon iver tiny desk concert
i dont think he would do it
as much as id love to
yes please
David Carr where did you hear this?
That would be amazing
My favorite alt-J track? Hunger of the Pines
0:00 - 3WW
5:06 - In Cold Blood
8:39 - Warm Foothills
12:04 - Taro
Sleeplessly embracing
@@masturbates butterflies and needles line my seamed up join
I'M SO HAPPY THANK YOU ALT J THANK YOU TINY DESK PEOPLE
I am not sure they like being called like this ;)
lol, tiny desk-people :D, sounds like something from Rick and Morty
ISeeFlashingLights Thank you tiny desk elves!
ISeeFlashingLights you forgot to thank kassem g
I fucking love when the artists smile while they are performing, that show that they love what they are doing
HOW DO THE TINY DESKS GUY DO SUCH A GOOD JOB AT MIXING THESE ARTIST - EVERY - SINGLE - TIME. Geezus
Ha Ha right :)
Best audio team on the internet, or anywhere really
thanks! learn more here: www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2019/04/02/705579879/tiny-tech-tips-microphones
They should introduce them to the SNL music team they need the help
The audio engineering is made with love.
You always close an Alt-J concert with Taro - there's no other way
and you always miss the brige at the end Joe, there's no other way
Jose Triana last night at their concert at the O2 they played taro halfway through and then finished with fitzpleasure which actually fitted quite well too!
One of my favorite parts. "Whoops" lol
I looooove that little mistake XD
Is this a recurring thing?
One does not hear Joe's voice, one feels it.
One does not understand Joe’s voice, one hears it.
Indeed
Jimuren one does not simply feel joes voice... one smells it
@@SirGBocka One does not simply feel Joe's voice, but one senses it from 1000 miles away
I started listening to Alt-J again, don't know why ever stopped. When they played Taro a rush of memories came back to me the minute I heard the guitar.

The cello girl smiling is the little fairy that balances this group out
I'm pretty sure she's crushing over Joe Newman lol (I think)

I was expected the voice from glasses guy but blondy beardy surprised.
It’s high time for a new alt j tiny desk

That "hipster John Oliver" cosplay is awesome.
+Paul Mabie funniest comment in a long time!

ahahaha this wins the internet for the day.
John Oliver is a hipster
whom of which is a complete fucking tool
I love the Tiny Desk Concerts! They are so raw. You really get to hear their true unfiltered musicianship. alt-j nailed it!
They seriously should record an entire album like this, strings and all
Where are the rice cakes at?
They must have put them in their butt.
so I knew nothing of the rice cake business. Googled it. JESUS, it's a 10M views video by now... and it's pretty cool :)
Sonia Richter I’m loving all these references
The Rice Cakes are from my state! Roz is an amazing lady!
@@rowzee. wrong rice cakes
i've been listening to alt j for like five years now and this is by far the best live performance i've ever seen
wow. warm foothills blew my mind. That's my favorite song from 'this is all yours'
just beautiful
Dude, "3WW" was awesome, but In cold blood, just blew my mind.
this album's gonna be so goooooooood
pleader is a good one too. The only song I found hard to like was hit me like that snare..sounds like raging hormonal teens playing music for the first time after getting high.. I was just not feeling that vibe..lol
Davo Rebo Kinda know what you feel about It. Yeah, probably that song is not their best, but we have very good ones in the new album.
hit me like a snare has a violent femmes feel to it I'd say. and the violent femmes are not for everyone... I love them.
yaaaassss bro

The cellist is so beautiful, and I love that she is really vibing in Taro.
I agree, there's a few looks with a smile that just subtly convey how awesome the experience is, she recognized it.
I love this so much. Alt J has been my favorite band for a decade. Their music always calms my crazy, anxious self down.
I just want to love you in my own language
Taissia Y I read your comment just as they sang that line for the second time :)
Taissia Y DUDE I LITERALLY JUST DID THE SAME THING
yes!!!
a
Same here whoa! Haha
4 beautiful songs the way they change rhythms and sound is emotional... Fave band
I think their drummer is very talented
He is also 80% deaf
Really!? I always though he was exceptional and now I read this!
He is precise as fuck if nothing else
funny - I was just watching "in cold blood" thinking "wow, his rhythm is all over the place. I wonder if this song is going to fly apart." But they kept it together. Love this concert.
1000% concur
After being in love with this band since 2012, I'm FINALLY seeing them live in a few months 😭😭😭
same! :) :)
I was so bummed that they canceled their tour stop in Milwaukee, WI due to logistical issues, but decided at the last minute to play an acoustic set at a very small venue this Friday, March 18th for $35, I couldn't be happier!
I’m also seeing them this summer on Tbilisi Open Air 2022 and they’re headlining 🥺 I’m at my happiest rn
Yo me toooo, I've loved them for so long and I get to see them September
!!how was it????pls let us know ( :
This intro song...I keep wanting to revisit. It's intoxicating, Relaxer indeed. I love Alt-J. These guys are so good live. The cellist seemed to really dig the mood of the song as it developed too, that is fun to watch, so chill.
This performance is so incredible! 🥺 I've listened so many times over the years
Currently the eighth time I've listened in the three days. Absolutely stellar new take on music we've got here. Wonderful job on the strings too! Truly atmospheric music.
I love these guys. In all honesty, they should do more with the strings section. It adds so much depth to their songs.
14:42 The moment of pure feelings. And then 20 sec later a small mistake causing big smiles on everyones faces
i cant understand a single word of it. but i love it.
This was pure magic. I was completely captivated. I've always loved how your music and artistry keep me guessing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with the world.
Taro alone is reason enough for a return visit, if you ask me
It’s my favorite song by them
FINALLY A LIVE VERSION OF WARM FOOTHILLS ! Also Thom's drumming man .. insane!
The outro to Taro played with violins is incredible.
Best music I've heard in ages! I love their sound so much.
Joe got so red when he missed that note during Taro.
it was very sweet :-)
Aaron Wade It just melted my heart. Dawwwwww

warm foothills cleans my soul
wow ... it's true , mine too ... squeeekey Kuh-leeen.
The string trio should've said "Hi" during the "Girls from the pool say hi" part
Yeah that really triggered me
i think one of them is a guy with fabio hair
Or just 2 of them.
@ulises albarran Or the previous 17 minutes. He looks exactly like a man with long hair to me, but then I always was good at differentiating between men and women just by looking.
@@nagualdesign stop bragging about weird shit
In love with the percussion
The 2nd title was pretty bad tbh. Sloppy as heck on those double stroke notes and downbeats.
Ahorn Sirup
Thom is insane
From a fellow drummer I concur shit's dope
only found this band in 2021. OMG I am so glad! Seeing then tonight in Manchester 2022
This is demanding music for being so emotional. I mean, this is really stimulating on at least 3 different levels of input. Delicious. Unbelievable.
15:02 he's like oops and then gets super blushed , my favorite part haha
What do they say?
@@gazthebomb "hey, Taro!", just like in the song itself
this was absolutely beautiful. Alt J, please record an album w this set up!
HOW do they sound so magical!!!!!!!! just how! nearly nobody sounds as good when singing life and they nailed it a HUGE time!

miss the duct tape tho
hahaha true.
There's no song that I like more than Taro in this stiring version. I also loved how he reacted when noticing the next song would be that one! Simply awesome... ALT J, you guys are the best. I dream about going to a concert of yours.
I'm so happy they played Warm Foothills & Taro, 2 of my absolute favourite songs all round
Original and sublime! An inclusive voice so needed in our world today. Thank you!
Always a delight to listen to Alt-J, record or live. Such a really great band, I’m cannot get enough, please keep putting out your perfect music.
This gives me goosebumps, it’s a beautiful performance
Never heard a better drummer
On of the best sets ever
The first time Alt-J was on Tiny desk I think was a better set quite honestly
Such a unique voice, really satisfying to watch it coming out of its human
First Bank show in Broomfield/Denver 03/23/2022 was nothing short of amazing. First time seeing Alt-J live and I'm hooked!
That cello player is beautiful holy crap😍
and she was the only one looking genuinely happy to be playing with these beasts
Always had a thing for cellists... dunno why. This is just another confirmation *8 )
the other might simply have taking it way seriously :) (stress)
El Pogo that could also be true. As a musician myself, I would pass out haha.
fucking beta
5 years later still sends shivers down my spine ...
Just seeing this for the first time and it makes me wonder why tiny desk hasn’t brought Glass Animals on??
yes oh my goosssshhhh. especially now that Dreamland is out!
I'd love that
I NEED THIS ASAP!!!
They're terrible live
Saw these guys live in NYC several years back. This brought back all the good feels.
his voice , I would recognize from a hundred miles away , so beautiful
💙
"ready?" - misses note- "woops" - I cry.
Love the work of this guys (NPR) for bring so talented bands to perform.
From Mac Miller to Alt-J, fromCafé Tacvba to Tash Sultana.
Keep on fire and thanks for so many good performances. 😍
I just noticed Joe's "High Anxiety/ Stranger Things" T-shirt !
Riju Shrestha also it's Merc for the solo album of Thom
Ibis Marquez I think they understood that
Extremely evolved songwriting. Just astonishing to listen to!
Best Tiny Desk ever!! And I really love the acts that have been through Tiny Desk!!
Haha the mess up at 15:00 was a great show of how they really just enjoy what they do
In cold blood went straight into my Spotify playlist after hearing it here, what a tune! Beautiful
When his face turns red, i smiled :)
The bass notes in these songs were intoxicating...WOW. Never heard of them, but NOW I have. Great job!! I LOVE TINY DESK!!! It introduces me to SOOO MANY artists and groups!! And when you included my hometown Tech-N9ne...I am FOREVER hooked!!!
