A glorious four-song set that's at once pristine and ramshackle — equal parts clarity and clatter — not to mention one of our best Tiny Desk Concerts yet.

  • It is not called a waterphone because of Richard Waters but because it has water in it. I know. Richard Waters

  • When the guitar started up I felt shivers down my spine. When the vocals started I didn't even know what to do—it was that good!

  • LOL..Notice the guys Hardcore Steers and Queers shirt ; )

  • @jzrull88 He has yes, but jonburmeister's suggestion of Mark Hollis is probably closer to what I was thinking. It's also either Ferg Harper or Steve Hogarth (who went on to join Marillion) when they were in the band Europeans back in the eighties - I think it's the way the whole timbre of his voice transforms when he sings the loud/powerful bits

  • @TheDaddyO44 He's got some Bowie in him.

  • @TheDaddyO44 Perhaps Mark Hollis, of the band Talk Talk (check out the song New Grass).

  • This band have crept up on me over the last year. His voice really reminds me of someone from the eighties....any ideas??

  • I want to know the one dislike.

  • Really inspiring to hear the great variety of artists here on NPR's channel. Thanks, NPR!

  • Thor is such a babe. I couldn't take my eyes off him when I saw him with Swans.

  • mmm
