"This week, we celebrate the Tiny Desk Contest community with concerts by some of our favorite entrants over the years. FORAGER's music takes the scenic route; it's witty and unpredictable, yet deceptively powerful and unable to fit into any specific genre. Wide-eyed and enamoured with the space, the Brooklyn-based band invited a host of friends and family to watch what feels like a homecoming show."
"When I'm asked about what I look for in an entry to the Tiny Desk Contest, FORAGER is the band that I think about. All three of its Contest submissions have been featured on Top Shelf, the YouTube series that highlights our favorite entries, which means FORAGER has always been a strong contender. When we found out a few months ago that the band wouldn't return to the Contest because it had signed a record deal, we knew it was time to bring in FORAGER proper. Shyamala Ramakrishna and the crew perform two from the upcoming album, Even a Child Can Cover the Sun with a Finger, and a couple of older songs, including "Split Lip.""
FORAGER performed a Tiny Desk set that felt like a homecoming, with friends and family in attendance. The band's sound is scenic, witty, unpredictable, deceptively powerful, and resists a single genre label. After the band signed a record deal and left the Contest, Tiny Desk invited FORAGER for a proper performance. Shyamala Ramakrishna and the ensemble played two songs from the upcoming album Even a Child Can Cover the Sun with a Finger along with older material. The set list included "Pomeranian," "Leave a Little to the Imagination," "Edgewise," and "Split Lip." The band featured guitar, drums, bass, keys, and multiple background vocalists.
