- May 9, 2019 | Bob Boilen -- When Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart fired up their angular guitar sounds during soundcheck at the Tiny Desk, I was thrilled. The shrieking, rhythmic noise these two classically trained musicians make as Ohmme is what made their debut album, Parts, a musical highlight for me in 2018. But hearing them in the office, trading vocals with such ping-pong precision, sent me into euphoria. This is now one of my all-time favorite Tiny Desk concerts.
Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart, along with drummer Matt Carroll, steer clear of rock music clichés that plague so much of the music I hear these days. Their adventurous spirit, reminiscent of Dirty Projectors, is sometimes challenging. But it opens a window on what the voice can be. It also redefines what the guitar can do - at one moment it's a stuttering percussive instrument, the next it's a bed of noise with a harsh tone that somehow morphs its way into the melody.
For this Tiny Desk, we hear four well-crafted songs from that 2018 album, Parts, with subject matters ranging from the wretched times we live in to understanding human behavior and the tale of an aging grandmother who loses her body before her mind. This brilliant band from Chicago has a creative future ahead of it, and I feel like we captured a bit of lightning in a bottle and a glimpse toward that bright future.

Their vocal synchronization is fantastic!
I had the pleasure of supporting them with my band a few months ago while they toured the UK. The level of musicianship live was astonishing, and they were lovely people to boot. Glad you're getting the credit you deserve, Ohmme!
woah. i was not ready for when that sound finally hit
Perhaps my favourite Tiny Desk yet. This was wild. Yet another great band discovered via Tiny Desk.
1) This is weird.
2) This rocks
3) I think I love it.
My thoughts exactly. Consider me a fan here forward lol
Ohmme is a good example of creative musicianship.
I really think that the amount of musicianship to compose these songs far exceeds "top songs" today.
A lot of "Top charts" song today usually follow a basic recipe or pattern of composition. Nothing wrong with it, but it's like doing a fill in the blanks with many possible answers.
Bands like Ohmme portray their creativity with bravery. All the songs they played in the video doesn't have a set genre, but possesses one similar character-- Fascinatingly Weird.
It's so weird that it's actually good! I hope musicians like them rise up faster and share the top charts.
Nothing really new on them. It's pretty much like Dirty Projectors.
Discovered this band from this set. I knew macie from kids these days a band she was in years ago with big ego Vic Mensa. I’m so glad she is killing it musically this band captures such beautiful emotion I can’t help but listen to this multiple times every day. Their recorder music is fantastic but it doesn’t capture the emotion from this set. First time it had me in tears honestly I love such raw energy it’s moving.
I've watched nearly all of NPR's Tiny Desk performances and have discovered many new artists and new music through this program, but this is the one that I regularly revisit. So good.
Like a breath of very fresh air. Thank you Ohmme
Not sure how many times now I've replayed the breakdown at 4:56. Could listen to that all day.
Sick
Holy shit that song "icon" was sooo cool from start to finish
This is seriously such an amazing band! Glad i found them!
Reminds me of early St. Vincent.
Like if Feist and St Vincent collaborated, after listening to PJ Harvey and The Pixies. Or maybe not, I don't know.
I'm too sober for this.
Idiot
Saw them live a year ago and it was honestly one of these performances I've ever seen
We love Ohmme! Excited to see them in the next couple of weeks on their tour.
These songs are like primary colors. Nice work.
wowowwow their voices are so good together. Such cool stuff! Agreed, they're fun and creative with music in a similar way that Dirty Projectors are- I love it!
Love this band ! Thank you NPR !!!
So nice to hear choruses and bridges for a change ! 😂😂😂😂
"Parts" set me in a trance
Original sound with a modern day DEVO flow! Love it
You guys are absolutely incredible. Cornelius, Jane's Addiction vibes for me. Awesome.
I've just discovered this band and my soul is overjoyed. So much awesomeness in just 16 mins, amazing.
Amazing band! So refreshing and creative!
shouts to the man whisking his hi-hats.
I love that effect on the whit strat st the start. Also that vocal thing they did was wild!
It’s called hocketing

Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Justo ahorita las descubrí con su vídeo más reciente de su rola " 3 2 4 3 " por medio de la productora del vídeo llamada Somos/Simios.
Tú comentario me resulta un pequeño glitch entre el bucle de la banda, el comentario cómo tal y el vídeo ya que fue grabado en CDMX. Jajaja, chécalo! Salu2.
This is just pure.
This RULES!
Wonderful sound. Creative AF.
Excellent. The guitar work on the last song reminds me of Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine of Television. Good band and so original
Awesome music!
Awesome set!! I would love to hear you in live!
I don't understand why I love this
Love this!
Drummer whippin out the Whisk at 10:18
That can't be the same thing Killer Mike was sippin' a fifth of while smokin' a dub in the tub.
2:46 the face of someone who knows they may just be in the midst of one of the finest TD videos ever.
So glad the past year they’re gaining more recognition, they’re so fresh, original, and talented, too much so not to be heard!
can't wait to see you at Solid Sound!
Great band, very fresh and unique
This is pure genius!!!
I had the good fortune of seeing them live on tour with Iron & Wine in Toronto last year. I was blown away after the first song, and immediately proceeded to buy all their music from their stand on the intermission.
All the songs on this video are from their full length album "Parts", but you should also check out their debut EP.
From their debut EP:
Woman - th-cam.com/video/FqX66tFUxRI/w-d-xo.html
Fingerprints - th-cam.com/video/okyvN2AXPwc/w-d-xo.html
They have released other stuff here on youtube, and definitely worth checking out.
They finally made it!!!
I can't understand why I like this.
DONT DIE BEFORE YOU'RE DEAD Funny. I was thinking the same thing.
Women are really representing right now and I could cry 😢
I thank NPR for always helping me find real musicians. New fan FOR SURE.
Check out Brainstory. Up and coming band from LA. Great music
wonderful !!
I dig that 1st song.
One of your best concerts.
Was thinking that they soundEd familiar and might’ve toured with a solo Jeff Tweedy...then they sang oh-oh-o-o-o and I realized it was them. Good stuff Ohmme.
Awesome!!!
I appreciate this perspective:)
Ohmee oh my, you have me hooked.
So sick!!
cooking with gas here . . . a great show from one of my fav. live bands I have caught in some time . . . bravo!
Yay, they still exsist and they have a drummer now! They were on audiotree couple years back. Bully Clouds is amazing! I still come back to it from time to time
Yes! Amazing, mhmhmhm
I love that last track, has a real Fiery Furnaces vibe, but these guys definitely have their own thing going on , and it's very cool! :) Great session.

8:05 WOW
Rad af!
Does anyone know what pedal is Sima using on the first song?
That guitar sounds wicked
I’m going to guess that is a POG pedal.
They made a video just for you th-cam.com/video/SExCdu2cCNQ/w-d-xo.html
@@BradHebert thanks!
Sonic Youth, Frank Zappa, St. Vincent, Queens of the Stone Age, all wrapped up in one perfect package.
Tune yards, dirty projectors
Why Frank Zappa this is way to conventional and simple comparing to Zappa... don’t put him in your list please. He ain’t no hipster
Edit: I agree with the rest though
