Haley Bonar: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- October 11, 2016 by Stephen Thompson • The first time I saw Haley Bonar in concert, she and her band were performing at the base of a 54-foot Doritos vending machine - a dehumanizing corporate venue of the variety that occasionally surfaces at SXSW. Somehow, though, her wry, spiky spark found a way to shine through.
A few years later, we found a slightly cozier spot for Bonar to perform three new songs, all drawn from the Minnesotan's terrific new album Impossible Dream. Along the way, she achieves an impressive range of sounds and storytelling, taking a little more than 10 minutes to pack in a melancholy look at the past's inescapability ("Hometown"), a brooding slow-burn about temptation and trust ("Jealous Girls"), and a stomping rager about doomed love ("Called You Queen"). All three achieve a nifty balance, sounding just stripped-down enough to suit the space, yet still immaculately polished at every turn.
Impossible Dream is available now:

SET LIST:
"Hometown"
"Jealous Girls"
"Called You Queen"

Super big thanks to HALEY for their help on this!
I love tiny desk so much. I've discovered more amazing music here than anywhere else in recent years. Mad respect.
yes good remark Andrew
Andrew B@ for president!))) your musical taste is immaculate!!!
Tiny Desk is the new MTV Unplugged.
I've probably posted this on numerous other tiny desks, but whoever does your mic setup and other engineering is worth their weight in gold.
I always feel a sense of pride when I hear an artist from MN. This stuff is pretty good.
Thomas Kittock listen to hippo campus !
The recording industry and sound engineers the world around should go to school at the Tiny Desk!!! Such great recordings!
Have seen Haley many times in Minneapolis and once in a basement at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in DC. Love her work! Anyone else think her voice and songwriting is amazing?
Honestly "Hometown" could be in every person's library, and I think it should, its so beautifully simple sounding, and relative to everyone who has ever left home.
she's very beautiful, and incredible voice, the band all together is magnificent!
She has such a beautiful voice
With these tiny desk concerts I can always tell I am going to love it when the first note is played
How beautiful she is ♥️
NPR has really been on a roll with the talent they have brought in these last few months! Great work, TDC!!!
Every lyric is meaningful. "No matter how you swerve you’re gonna hit that post." "Hometown goes wherever you go." Powerful!
Well, there is really something going on across the big ocean! I fell in love with Haley Bonar's music right from the very first chord of this album and ordered it straightaway, luckily available on CD over here in Germany.
Once again, the artist sounds amazing on Tiny Desk, and you check out their recording’s only to find they are massively overproduced losing a lot in the process. Less is more!!
Go see them on tour. Albums serve the purpose of being clean and close to the artists’ realization. Live performance involves reworking the pieces for the moment. Totally different purposes. It’s rare a live album is good due to the lack of alignment with the listening environment.
So much better than the album versions of the songs.
great! What a heavenly voice!
Beautiful voices & sound❤️️❤️️❤️️
Oh man, I freakin' love how hometown sounds live
Very good band here! I feel like they have awesome vocals and lyrics. They are tight and polished and I'd really like to see and hear them perform live in my area. I'm definitely a new fan.
So much love in the comments and for tiny desk! I'm in love..
Love this! One of the best TDConcerts.
Brazil love NPR...Love with green and yellow colors.
Really love his guitar tone
Haley... What a talent, what an album!
I like watching and hearing how Bonar play the guitar. Hopefully there will be more Bonarmusic in the Future.
Really enjoying your music. So refreshing to see new and young people with great sound and technical quality. Thank you.
A sweet delight.........................thank you x
Wonderful. Lovely
The Hometown chorus is ridiculously catchy. I submitted a tab for the song on Ultimate Guitar, check it out! :)
Thank you!
love Hometown so much. there's so much heart in that song. she's such a good writer
Absolutely stunningly beautiful! My new favorite artist.
hometown is so beautiful song, sound better in this form that the original version
Fantastic !!!
WoW! Thank you for helping me discover these guys Tiny Desk!
Tiny Desk Audio team does amazing once again. Impromptu performances with better audio than official tracks
So comfy and laid back!😊
Excellent choice in guitars Haley!!
Been getting in to sound lately and just now realize why the tiny desk concerts don't sound terrible.
It's the books and random crap on the shelves and desks bouncing the sound off in equally random fashion to create a clean recording. Awesome.
Not a sure fire way for success, but it works. They also have the bodies behind the cameras, which prevents echo, and an asymmetrical room with nooks and crannies for the sound to go into.
That being said, you still have to be a bit of wizard to get something this clean with so few mics.
Wow! This was beautiful :)
you have a great voice keep on making a song from your heart see what you go through and what other people tell you you're a good writer wish you the best there's a lot of talent out there singers singers
I really like her sound :)
Jessica Dominic I see you here all the time haha
Haha that's why I sub. I love to catch up on all the music on this channel ;) The Tiny Desk Concerts are my fav!
me too i am slowly working my way back to watch all the old ones :)
awsome . thank you for your music
Just had Baskin-Robbins' 32nd flavor...thanks a lot, Haley.
Love this song so much keep listing to it on loop
great bass tone on that second track
Vulfpeck is needed on tiny desk!
random....but yes
no please. they can stay where they are.
Beautiful! Thank you.
Love the song 'Hometown'. More songs like that one, Haley!
adorable artiste , many great album from her..
beautiful
All grown up, saving up for my exit
Let it burn in the rearview mirror
The folks I know will all go
On their way to staying the same
But the further that I get
The deeper my regrets
Hometown goes wherever you go
Hometown goes wherever you go
Hometown goes wherever you go
Such a beautiful ring of black fire
I can see it for miles and miles
When I come back I'll be
Something to somebody
Just imagine what they'll say
I'll see 'em on my way
Hometown goes wherever you go
Hometown goes wherever you go
Hometown goes wherever you go
Further that I get, the deeper my regrets
Hometown goes wherever you go
Hometown goes wherever you go
Hometown goes wherever you go
Nice.. good job guys.. don't quit
How have I been missing out on this
I love this setting. It is intimate and less pretentious for artists and listeners. Please add more less well known artists
Please look into getting vulfpeck in for a session. Might just blow your minds
Parker Shaw tw
!!!!
Thanks for letting me know about them! Soo tastey~
Hey....I know them.
First time I see and hear her, found that vid accidentlly and... wow, she's just incredibly beautiful, so lovely, damn. Felt in love so fast, lol after few chords of Hometown :D
This Artist is a class act
So sweet this song is.
Well done. Bravo!
It's impossible not to love Haley!
Love Hometown. Great stuff!
Amazing! Stunning song! Stunning vocals!
Lovely! Thank you.
beautiful and fab,,, and the keyboard player has fantastic hair!!
Love her voice!!!!!
This is good stuff in my estimation. Like, above average in all respects. The song structures and lyrics remind me of Jeff Tweedy/Wilco. Really effective mini-drum setup, too.
I got that Wilco vibe as well! This is the first I've heard of her. Just wow.
Jayhawks
I'm a huge Bonar fan !
Thanks found another cool new artist
figuratively sick performance all round here.
Hometown that husky i can live with that song forever thanks Hayley
She killed it on Jools Holland too. So great live.
She is scratching my Aimee Mann itch!
Discovered her on a Mojo magazine new music sampler.
I just watched Aimee Mann do her tiny desk performance, that scratched my itch nicely.
Really REALLY loved the first song when they played it in my old job, had some kinda runaway cowboy feel
Stop this.
I can only keep up with so much great music.
Excellent
Absolutely lovely!!!
I saw you on Jools Holland tonight and am hooked.
gracias npr!!!!
Thanks friends. Flavia for Family.
Bonar's sessions make me all so excited!
I looooove Bonar!
I could watch those Bonar videos all day!
I like the guitar on called you queen.
I find I often like the Tiny Desk sets better than the studio albums. Can we just make that a thing? A bonus tiny desk set with every studio album?
sounds good to me
Verrrry nice.
I would love to be a member of this band. Haley rocks!
Wait, where are all of the hateful, evil comments?
A lack of nasty comments should be the norm, you know.
+Rikard Peterson not on youtube it cant
This is like MrSuicideSheep's channel. No hateful stuff :)
Those evil comments are mostly done by 12 year olds... The 12 year olds aren't interested in this kind-of music.
Love that channel.
Amazing!
Came for the Guild, stayed for the songs. Nice stuff.
Mesmerising....
let us all support bonar more!
lovechild of Geena Davis and Britta from Community
she is very very beautiful. there is a word to this in portuguese: Linda. Linda is a word to a beauty wonderful.
so. very. good.
I loved it!
She gives me one
Jealous girls don’t have no fun
Unless they’re sure they’re the only one
Lovely.
what a beauty!!
She's obviously a student of Sam Phillips! Voice, guitar, songs - all very similar. Nice!
