Oh when Phil Taggart said they were doing Radiohead I assumed it would be creep because Arlo Parks has already covered it so this is a welcome surprise

amazing Tiny Desk concert recreating the Oval Office.

They open with "Kyoto," a story song based on her first trip to Japan, followed with a sweet version of "Moon Song" and the sad details of loving someone who doesn't love themself. And then comes the kicker, as Phoebe introduces herself with the words "I hope everybody's enjoying their apocalypse," as the band kicks into her surreal doomsday tune "I Know the End." And what an end it is: The trio expands to an ensemble and a crowd-sourced chorus of fans — recording from bedrooms, cars, backyards and trampolines — lets out the kind of cathartic scream that has come to define 2020 for so many of us.

 

Kyoto added to Radio 1's playlist

 

That's brilliant! One of Phoebe's most radio-friendly songs

but at the same time it showcases how brilliant she's as a songwriter

and features her typical Phoebe lyrics like the bit about the phones

great tv performance

Phoebe appears on Bright Eyes' 'Miracle of Life' out today:

 

oh didn't know, thanks for letting us know

It's a good one! I need to check out more of Bright Eyes' music really

hopefully in future years, this becomes a Halloween classic, a song properly written about Halloween :D

I'm sure I remember Dandy* being a fan so would be able to properly recommend. My favourite Bright Eyes is comfortably 'Take It Easy (Love Nothing)'

 

 

Back onto the threads subject, hard to think Punisher won't end up my favourite album of the year. I Know The End and Kyoto nailed on top 10 songs too.

for me also sure album of the year, in fact, favourite albumin the last 5 years

I Know The End is definitely song of the year

I know all the lyrics of all songs,can playa of the songs on guitar

in a way if it wasn't for covid I'd probably had become a Phoebe groupie :D

Some background on current single “I Know The End”.
