Hallmark to the group's stage game, the latest guests on Tiny Desk Concert (following last week's performance from frequent collaborator and fellow west coast odd-ball, Thundercat) offered the series a rare glimmer of experimentalism, delivered live and direct from behind Bob Boilen's now iconic office suite. They performed the timely and twisted "Colluding Oligarchs" with bassist, Otis Calvin, before launching into "They Come in Gold" and prospective song-of-the-year, "Shine a Light."
