New Mix: Young Fathers, Confidence Man, A Stunning Tiny Desk Contest Entry, More
As we sift through the thousands of video entries we got for this year's Tiny Desk contest, we've laughed, loved and made a lot of phenomenal discoveries along the way. On this edition of All Songs Considered we share one of the most powerful and deeply moving ones we've seen. It comes from a band called Bernie And The Believers whose lyricist, Bernie Dalton, pursued his lifelong dream of making an album, even after ALS robbed him of his ability to move or speak. We share the song the group performed for its Tiny Desk contest entry, "Unusual Boy." Full playlist: 1. Confidence Man "Boyfriend (Repeat)," 2. Illuminati Hotties "Paying Off The Happiness," 3. Young Fathers "In My View," 4. Forth Wanderers "Taste," 5. Bernie And The Believers "Unusual Boy (feat. Essence)," 6. Nikolai Lugansky "No. 5 in G Major. Moderato," 7. Hookworms "Opener."
