In my opinion, this is the greatest Tiny Desk Concert of all time. And if you haven't, read the description. This band is a perfect example of how many songwriters are becoming composers again, in a time when the world needs this kind of cathartic music the most. Typhoon is right up there with the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Mother Falcon. Thanks for the consistent excellence, NPR, and especially to Mr. Bob Boilen, the best Mr. Bob who's ever chosen music for the internet to watch.
Kyle's songs touch the deepest part of our human experience, mortality, despair, anger, joy and the ever elusive hope. His songs drag the tears from my eyes without my minds consent, which is a most beautiful and magical thing. I have now purchased all their albums and the song "The Sickness Unto Death" may be the most poignant and heart wrenching song I've ever heard, and I've been on this tiny blue orb for 55 years and own thousands of songs.
Met Kyle rather randomly and learned he played some music on the side. He was such a friendly/funny guy I thought I’d look to see if he had anything available online. It looks like he has a song or two around the interwebs. He didn’t tell me a band name or that he was really friggin talented. Cool man. Not surprised in the least!
Since I couldn't find em anywhere else, here's who is performing: Kyle Morton - Vocals/Guitar Shannon Steele - Violin (Blue Top) Jen Hufnagel - Violin (White Top) Devin Gallagher - Uke Toby Tanabe - Bass Peter Hilton - Tall Drummer guy Dave Hall - Glockenspiel/Guitar Alex Fitch - Percussion Tyler Ferrin - Horn Ryan McAlpin - Trumpet (Red Flannel) Eric Stipe - Trumpet (Beard)
Yes. This. In all of its raw grandeur. You speak in riddles, you tell stories, you are your own Greek chorus. And we cry and laugh with you. Thank you for taking away my breath.
This band has very quickly become one of my favorites. "Dreams of Cannibalism" is a masterpiece and they should be extremely proud for what they have created.
I'm 4'11'' and you guys have no idea how much I appreciate the beginning conversation. I never get to see a show because people either don't see me and don't care or do see me and don't care. It's not like I'm going to be in the way or anything... I can barely see big screens that are showing whats going on on the stage. just let me in front or lift me up
Gin Vagon I really feel like I want to do this for a shorter person at a venue, but can't even imagine how to start that conversation. "Hi. I see that you are short. Would you like to be on my shoulders?"
Yeah, just cut it down to "Can you see?" "Wanna Lift?"....your always putting yourself out there with people you don't know, but if your driven to do something (within reason) go for it.
LOVE this band! Love this performance! Can't wait to share with the world our recording of Typhoon live at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. Coming soon! Nice job, NPR!
I started listening to Typhoon about a week ago, today i saw this video was posted. I was so excited all day to get home and be able to watch it, I can't believe how incredible this band is...
saw them once at the blind pig in ann arbor and now ill be seeing them again at EL CLUB so pumped, I play young fathers for my newborn son all the time. also el club has some of the best pizza in Michigan lol
Wow I’ve liked this group for a while and 2019 is the first time I’ve seen this! So good...it’s like their live Ballroom album but way more intimate :)
Very awesome performance. I think the vocals are unique and so is the acoustic set up. If people dont like how they dress..then dont watch or dont worry about it.
reuniteireland, they actually do have a live album called Live at the Crystal Ballroom. It was my intro to the band. I still like their studio album a lot better, though

You must see these guys in concert if you haven't already. One of, if not the best, shows I saw all year long. Cannot wait to see them again.
Yes. This. In all of its raw grandeur. You speak in riddles, you tell stories, you are your own Greek chorus. And we cry and laugh with you.
Thank you for taking away my breath.

やっぱりTony Tanabeは日本人ですよね。Susanさんの名字は一緒ですが、家族ですか？「Typhoon」という名前の由来は知りませんでした。面白いね！教えてくれたありがとう。僕はまだライブを見てないです！もしまた来日したら、できれば行きたいです。
This band is so amazing. So glad we were able to film their recent show in Boston for our channel. Hope they become huge!
I have Lyme Disease and The Lake feels like my song. It made me cry. I understand precisely what he felt like; it's how I still feel.
Should listen to his song The Sickness Unto Death if you haven’t already
Not sure TYPHOON slipped passt my radar? Very glad you found me! 🎶
Isn’t that treatable?

I'll lift "you" up if I ever see "you" at a show- struggling to see. :)

Seeing them was the closest thing I’ve ever been had to a religious experience and I’m glad it was them 😇💜👏🏾
"Hey ladies, I'm clapper/trumpet #2 in a band of 11. Can I buy you a drink?"
+Kyle G Hahahahaha
Kyle G: YES
Clapper#2? She'd probably have to buy you the drink.
#whatpanties?
Uhmmm whistle solo
LOVE this band! Love this performance! Can't wait to share with the world our recording of Typhoon live at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. Coming soon! Nice job, NPR!
Each time I watch this, I take away my like just to like it again.
Discovering this in 2019 ? This group is jamming hard wtf.
I started listening to Typhoon about a week ago, today i saw this video was posted. I was so excited all day to get home and be able to watch it, I can't believe how incredible this band is...
That's the softest, sweetest, rocking out I have ever seen. 💘
This video is probably the most amazing thing I will ever see. Thank you, Bob, for getting these guys to play and introducing me to them!
Fantastic! His voice makes me happy, between the shouts and the group relationship. Totally awesome band.
with such nice people their music really comes off as legit as it can get
i love this band so much. . .i've listened to this the other npr, and their kexp performance dozens of times.
i want more!!!!!
NPR i feel like i owe you big time. time and time again you introduce me to awesome bands. thank you from the bottom of my heart!
saw them once at the blind pig in ann arbor and now ill be seeing them again at EL CLUB so pumped, I play young fathers for my newborn son all the time. also el club has some of the best pizza in Michigan lol
This band is so good! They remind me a bit of Arcade Fire and Fleet Foxes a bit, but their sound is really unique. Pretty awesome.
The first song made me think of Spoon - The Underdog. ua-cam.com/video/q1hZVDLkJDc/v-deo.html
Very touching in any respect ! !!!!! Great band ! Found this by coincidence and it made my day !
Love this band please more concert dates especially in Orlando or Tampa
Tight Corner Glockenspiel is my new band name. Bob Boilen and NPR music, thank you again for another great tiny music concert.
Wow I’ve liked this group for a while and 2019 is the first time I’ve seen this! So good...it’s like their live Ballroom album but way more intimate :)
typhoon are my new favourite everything right now
Can't get over how amazing this band is.
Great emotion behind the lyrics digging this
When that guitar comes in on the second song...magic
This ish always puts me in a good mood. Can't wait for Typhoon's new stuff to come out!
Love this band! Saw them in Portland
Thank you guys.
These guys are a breathe of fresh air when your stuck in a bad mood... Thank you:)
Man their lead singer sounds exactly the same live as in their CDs. Such an amazing group.
I think he sounds even better honestly. You can hear the passion.
Amazing group of young talent! Amazing!
God I love this Band. Typhoon is truly unique
the best album of the year. I am very thankful for this.
Every show should have a height night.
Holy Moly! This group has incredible energy!
The lake breaks my heart. Damn.
Oh, that's beautiful!! So glad they are playing here tomorrow!
Best thing I've heard in ever. Thanks NPR
Thank God for NPR
Always phenomenal
that's a lot of folks, had no idea. Beautiful!
I squeaked when I saw this in my subscriptions box. I'm in ridiculous love with Typhoon.
Damn, I have tears in my eyes and am standing up clapping after the first song! Please scroll up, you are missing it!!!
oh my god, hit me like a train! what talent in one room.
Truly amazing Band! NPR rocks!
that was supremely entertaining. totally fresh and habit-forming.
amazing! just amazing
Incredible
When do we get another Typhoon tiny desk concert?? Please and thank you!
i like it!
Such a great album!
First comment for my new favorite Typhoon? They are phenomenal every time I see their performance!
i love NPR Music!
Very awesome performance. I think the vocals are unique and so is the acoustic set up. If people dont like how they dress..then dont watch or dont worry about it.
My new favorite
So f...... great, awesome, so good!
I soooo love this!!
Ugh, the breakdown into the acapella at the end of Dreams of Cannibalism gets me
OMG he is my soulmate...I am short so shows usually are seen behind tall people's heads....
And break their hearts.
I love the part about short people in the front. I have the same problem at shows. I'm not even 5 foot but I'm proportionately tiny. lol
Can height night please be a thing?!?
“And as my body turns against itself I pray for death to come back and anyone else” This line touched my soul
Kyle 👍👍😓
sweet
1:45 in and I'm in love already
No one else was left unsatisfied?
💓👏🤘
moar showssss...up north, Minneapolis!
love the band but everyone of them look straight out of portlandia!!! I mean wow did that show nail it or what?
How do these large bands make any money ?
Wenn ich nur aufhören könnte, ...
If they did an acoustic album I would be into it, but I just can't get into their studio stuff like I can this.
Jeremy McCracken this is the problem many bands have. Acoustic/live almost always sounds better
reuniteireland, they actually do have a live album called Live at the Crystal Ballroom. It was my intro to the band. I still like their studio album a lot better, though
Oh nose ring girl,
You are special,
You don't need that red bird,
you will never play second fiddle.
Ooooooooooh, oooooooooooooh,
woah, woah, woah.
Anyone thought he have the same voice as the singer of Counting Crow?
And it's a good thing.
Классные чуваки!!!
young fathers reminds me of my dad.... he used to hit me
"Being not good enough at something while continually attempting it will eventually make you not good enough at something else."
,dan'
So much better then the album.
God of chosen is very faithful
Man, not enough room for the fiddlers there!
Hey natalie
mole
Could have sworn this band was Scottish. Sure sounds like it.
moin moin hamburg
He doesn't look like typhoon
Trying hard to be Bright Eyes?
yeah I hear that
esp on the first song, front singer sounded like he was trying to be conor oberst
No? Not everybbad is trying to be someone else. Your comment was placed in ignorance.
Sounds like every other NPR band.
No.
Discernment and nuance clearly aren't your strong-suit.
