      The use of shotgun Mics, for this particular performance is really doing the heavy lifting. But you’re right. In an office environment filled with so many atmospheric sounds to be able to isolate each instrument and balance. The mix together is amazing.

    There was a comment on a Tiny Desk Concert video about 8 years ago that read, "Whenever you see an artist you've never heard of or given a chance to before on Tiny Desk Concert, watch it."
    And these guys are a prime example of why I follow that.

In fact just last night I went to a concert for a band I learned about here in Tiny Desk. But I also love hearing famous songs I know and love performed in the Tiny Desk format. Lizzo and Taylor Swift are among the many popular artists who put on a great, stripped-down show on here. It's not a zero sum game. Let's not make it one.

      He should pair up with Ali Saddiq. He sold for a while until he got caught and sent to prison. His series Domino Effect is a masterpiece of storytelling comedy. Would make a hilarious Broadway show!

    The first time I hear the philharmonic I knew he was special. His songs are so well crafted and really thought out.. they are laced with such beautiful and poignant social commentary.
    I sent him some demos years ago and he wrote me and gave me feedback. To see where he rightfully is today after knowing his struggle to get here, is such an inspiration. Keep it up, brother. Sky is the limit

It gives me hope! Keep rockin' y'all, I hope to see you on stage one day!

Shared with family and friends and I've watched it at least five times since. a lot of manufactured talent in the music industry. You can't pretend to do what they are doing here. Tiny Desk is for real talent. No auto-tune to hide behind. Who needs coffee when you can start your day with The Philharmonik?
