Tyler, The Creator — NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Unofficial Release EP on 12" Vinyl
Tiny Desk Concerts is a program at NPR Music of live performances, generally stripped-down, by musicians of different genres, located in Washington, D.C. The first Tiny Desk Concert came about in 2008 after Bob Boilen and NPR Music editor Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated because they couldn’t hear the music over the crowd noise. Thompson joked that the musician and folk singer Laura Gibson should just perform at Boilen’s desk. A month later Boilen arranged for her to do just that, making an impromptu recording and posting it online. The name is taken from Boilen’s 1970s psychedelic dance band called Tiny Desk Unit.
Tyler, The Creator’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert was performed in December 2017 as a stripped-down, intimate promotion for his critically acclaimed album Flower Boy. The short, three-song acoustic medley features live renditions of “Boredom,” “See You Again” and “Glitter.” Unlike standard daytime tapings, Tyler requested to perform at night with his own customized fuchsia, orange, and blue lighting.
