Mannie Recent bum rushed the gang and mugged for the digicam. Soul Glo‘s Pierce Jordan stunted on workplace furnishings. Moses Sumney performed our window-side piano. Some moments had been staged and others spontaneous, however generally an artist simply must “break the body” of Tiny Desk. Living proof: Our puny cabinets and cluttered junk couldn’t include Otoboke Beaver‘s Yoyoyoshie, who actually lept out from behind the Desk, ran to the vast shot and shred a loud guitar solo most triumphantly.
Kyoto, Japan’s Otoboke Beaver got here into the NPR Music workplace with string lights coloration coordinated to the members’ floral print clothes, an edamame hair clip for our wall and an enormous, inflatable beaver. In two-minute bursts of quick, livid and outrageously enjoyable punk rock, the band’s music is a gleeful train in absurdist evisceration — of Japanese societal norms, gender roles, annoying trolls and unhealthy boyfriends. Each music smirks because it explodes. On the Tiny Desk, Otoboke Beaver speeds and screams by its catalog — Itekoma Hits, Tremendous Champon and its singles compilation Okoshiyasu!! — with acrobatic pace and depth. An unhinged delight.
