Watch our 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest Video
I love Tiny Desk! So many of my favorite musicians I discovered through Tiny Desk, and the ones I already knew about, have given some of their most intimate, nuanced, and memorable performances at Tiny Desk. I dream to one day get to play there! Every year, we make a contest video. I’m especially excited because our song this year is from our upcoming third studio album, so it’s a sneak peek of what is to come. This past year has been absolutely transformative and expansive for me, and this song “Metamorphosis” embodies that, as well as the forthcoming album. The video was shot by my friend S. Cagney Gentry, who made us all look really fucking cool. He’s an amazing filmmaker whose films are visceral and powerful. Find out about them here. In this video, you’ll see my beautiful band members who I adore and who expand my songs in ways I could have never imagined or done alone. They are Ryan MacLeod (baritone), Luke Payne (slide guitar), John Daniel Ray (bass/ synth bass), Kevin Beck (synth), and Chaisary (drums). I hope you enjoy the video and song! And check out Tiny Desk!
