Chvrches: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Published on May 12, 2014 NPR Music ·549 videos
Update: make that ALTO, not LTO. Only one previous post on MATRIXSYNTH. Synths include the DSI Tempest, Mopho x4, and Teenage Engineering OP-1.
Update 2 via Chris Haynes in the comments: "That ALTO is controlling a Moog Minitaur for the bass drones."
"For a brief moment, I imagined hearing Chvrches perform "Recover" or "Gun" with a couple of acoustic guitars and perhaps a shaker or two. And, though these songs would surely stand up well when broken down and bared, I'm thrilled that Chvrches came with a small arsenal of synthesizers to perform a few highlights from last year's album The Bones of What You Believe.
Seeing these now-familiar earworms executed up close was nearly as much a campfire moment as an acoustic set might have been, except the flames burned brighter. Lauren Mayberry's voice felt powerful and vulnerable, while Iain Cook and Martin Doherty kept those memorable synth lines bubbling underneath. The result works as a perfect introduction to the Glasgow trio, but also a reaffirmation of talent and longevity for those already love with the band. --BOB BOILEN
