And Adrianne Lenker had this extraordinary presence, like someone incredibly shy who’s been sitting there quietly all night and then suddenly starts talking, and the rest of room goes silent because everyone wants to hear what she’s got to say.Īnything was the lead single from her just-released debut solo album. It’s a pretty intense spotlight when you’re playing those stripped back performances, and some groups wither under the heat.īut those guys were so together they made it look like they were playing in slow motion. I first heard Adrianne Lenker sing on a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR with her band, Big Thief. The performance follows a series of covers on various shows: a rendition of Peter Gabriel’s “ Sledgehammer” on The Howard Stern Show and Joni Mitchell’s “ Big Yellow Taxi” on BBC’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show.Tom Havelock, frontman with synthy London band Prep, reveals why he's so into Big Thief singer Adrianne Lenker's debut solo album Anything in Tastemakers this week.
“I’ve never really done a show like this before,” he told the office, before playing the closer “Adore You.” “It just feels like I’m in the way of you working, so I apologize.”
Styles introduced his guitarist and collaborator Mitchell Rowland to the crowd while explaining how “To Be So Lonely” came together he recorded in Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in England. “We kind of liked it when we first had it, but I really hated it for a long time and it kept coming back into the mix.” “It’s probably the longest it’s ever taken me to finish a song,” he told the audience.
Wearing a powder blue knit sweater with a baby chicken on it, Styles launched into “Cherry.” He then discussed the background of “Watermelon Sugar”: On his day off from his 2017 tour in Nashville, he saw Richard Brautigan’s novel on a table and decided to name the song after that. Harry Styles stopped by NPR for an intimate Tiny Desk Concert, performing four tracks from his new album, Fine Line.
