Since the pandemic emerged, NPR has been forced to reconfigure its popular Tiny Desk Concert series. Artists now film their installments remotely, and while occasionally someone will do something really special, it doesn't feel like a Tiny Desk Concert without the (iconic?) Tiny Desk setting at NPR's studios. Billie Eilish found a cheat code for her Tiny Desk show: printing out a cardboard cutout of the Tiny Desk backdrop. Check out her performance with her brother FINNEAS above.
Eilish performs two of her most recent songs, "my future" and "everything i wanted" for the set. Between the tracks, she delivered some optimistic and grounded banter about the state of the world. "There's barely anything that feels like there's any hope in, but I think the future is something to be super hopeful in... We'll be okay one day. Maybe not right now, but... I think that's what's making me hold on."
Billie Eilish recently performed "my future" at the Democratic National Convention. Read her FADER cover story here.
