Tiny Desk

So much of the holiday season is about finding a balance between bright lights and dark nights. Sixpence None the Richer's music finds depth in the in-between.

The bluegrass virtuoso brings back the spirit of Tiny Desk's early days: fewer microphones to capture "the way these instruments are meant to sound."

In matching, brilliant blue suits, David Byrne and his band squeeze behind the Desk to perform four songs, including Talking Heads' "Life During Wartime."

Robert Plant's voice has only gotten better with age. In this beautiful set, Plant and his band cover Low, Moby Grape, Martha Scanlan and interpret traditional songs.

At the Tiny Desk, our small office crowd joins the thousands who have been inside of these power ballads and felt something real.

Jarvis Cocker croons, coos and dances his way through this career-spanning Tiny Desk with Pulp.

The hip-hop band reshapes its hypnotic melodies and serrating beats with the aid of MIDI-triggered robots and a desk full of glass bottles, coffee mugs and a pizza box.

The effervescent pop-rock band is here with a crucial reminder: It's always summer somewhere.

Kevin Parker takes the less-is-more approach at the Tiny Desk: an all-acoustic set of Tame Impala songs, brilliantly reimagined.

Backed by a band (and sans autotune), the pop star swaps out glitched-out samples for guitar riffs and softer, jazzier moments.
