Click here: https://www.npr.org/tinydesk Follow NPR Music: Twitter: https://twitter.com/nprmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nprmusic Bob Boilen | April 7, 2017 - Last May, Tash Sultana posted a self-made video, just her in her living room with guitar, laptop and a great song called "Jungle." Within five days it had drawn a million views. This 21-year-old Maltese-Australian got a guitar from her grandfather when she was three, she says, and has played it every day since. It's astonishing to watch Sultana's fluidity on her instrument, like a natural extension of her body. (She also plays bass, saxophone, trumpet, flute and more, but kept it "simple" at the Tiny Desk.) I thought I had a lot of energy — watching her bounce from guitar to drum machine to two separate microphones — and then hopping barefoot from looping pedal to effect pedal as she builds her songs was exhilarating and exhausting. There's more here than an exercise in virtuosity, her music is filled with adventure and ambition. These songs are rapturous and resonant. Tash has just finished a month-long, sold-out U.S. tour. The EP Notion is available now. iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/notion/id1185683763 Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Notion-EP-Tash-Sultana/dp/B01MU2KKVT/ Set List "Jungle "Notion" "Blackbird" Musicians Tash Sultana (vocals, guitar) Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Bronson Arcuri; Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Niki Walker, Morgan Noelle Smith; Production Assistant: A Noah Harrison; Photo: Claire Harbage/NPR.

Tash: Hold my third microphone. 983
that was something spiritual 1091
I hear the birds
When they're singing
I hear the sirens when they're ringing
But I can't take my mind off of you
A thousand words, pouring out
The distance of over there
Is moving on and out
You said it, you said it'd be alright
How 'bout these notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah
Tell your mother, she don't understand
Tell your father, he's not listening
Why don't you tear my heart
The chain is made of string
I roll the dice
You seal the deal
That don't matter
'Cause this pain will heal
I will follow you
Into the dark
How 'bout these notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah
These notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah
Singing hallelujah to you
Calling out my name
I'm in the deep end, ocean
Calling out my name
Singing hallelujah to you ... 15
