"I Admit I'm Scared" is absolutely one of my favorite songs of the year. Really appreciated this presentation. Thank you. I have come to rely on the NPR Tiny Desk concerts as a crucial means to connecting with new music.

I run a venue in Erie Pa called Basement Transmissions. Gabby played a show to about 6 cold kids and myself. It took place during one of eire's terrifying Lake Effect snow storms. White out conditions. Rightfully the show should have been canceled. She played the most personal and beautiful sets that I've seen at the venue. And incredibly humble and friendly. Miss her. Its great to see her getting notoriety

It's been a long while since I've unexpectedly shed a tear or two over music. I usually just put on old favorites when I want that effect, but my reaction to this set was surprising. Thanks for sharing this; I've found a new favorite.

So beautiful. Reminds me how I felt when I heard Kaia Wilson's voice for the first time. natural talent.

get frankie cosmos and porches on tiny desk

I am the only one who really wants to see Alex G play one of these?

Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are: Gabrielle Smith - Guitar/Vocals Felix Walworth - Vocals (Glasses, plays drums normally) Oliver Kalb - Vocals (Attic Abasement Shirt, normally on keys) Jack Greenleaf - Vocals (Plain Black Shirt, plays bass normally)

I really love Gabby as a part of Bellows, but watching this made me really, really love her as a Eskimeaux! The Epoch = 💜

Her voice at 8:51 is the most pure, raw & emotional I've heard in a long time. Makes the song for me.

The performance of Folly on tiny desk is so haunting. The voice and lyrics are just so balanced.

i first heard of eskimeaux when i got given a free mix cd when i ordered an lp online... and the first song i heard was 'folly' and literally i couldn't do anything when i heard the song, all i could do was listen. it's so beautiful! seeing them all here is making me love them even more! x

I love this girl. I saw her live about a month back with Francis quinlin

Told Slant on tiny desk, please!!

Such beautifully powerful lovely songs.... I think the NPR director was holding back tears. nice show

I love her voice so much. Lyrics are damn beautiful

I saw her with bellows but she didnt sing, then I saw this, what a fantastic songwriter

I saw her perform a couple nights ago in Santa Cruz. It was great. This set was short even for a tiny desk! I wish they had done one more song.

Just love her voice and the lyrics.

grace and lightness

Can't believe it took me this long to watch this. Gabby's perfect. Love the Attic Abasement shirt. Feeeeeeliiiiixxxxxx aaahhhh

Folly and A Hug Too Long were both decent songs with intimate lyrics but I Admit I'm Scared was just superb.

The album is okay, but wow do I love this concert. The emotion of the songs just comes across so much better without the arrangements.

wow, she is captivating.

Okay, this is truly bizarre but, a few days ago this vid popped up and I really enjoyed it. I was very curious what guitar she is playing. Today I had a Guitar Center ad pop up and it was for this EXACT guitar!!!! The ad wasn't even for a new guitar, it was for a USED guitar!!! This is just too strange a coincidence. It's not even a popular mainstream guitar. It is a Daisy Rock Elite.

Her voice is magical!

she's the cutest

Wow how often are people better live?

Thank you NPR! It's very good! Greetings from Brazil!

Eskimeaux is an icon-and personally, I think I prefer this performance of Folly over the album version.

Saw them supporting alex g in brighton last night, blew my mind

Totally beautiful! It's time to move up north.

how many goddamn bands is Felix in?

God I almost cry every time I hear this

Fantastic ... would love to see her live

this is so beautiful and soothing

I forgot how good Gabby's voice was..🗣🕊.💞...

shes beautiful

I love gabby so much

Que bonita es y canta hermoso uuuuhhh😍😍

wish I would've known about this video 6 years ago

😌 sigh beautiful. We are responsible. #listeningnow #gratitude

Wow, this is so good!

im really glad i got this recommended to me

Wow. Blissful voice

Love this amazing band!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

So beautiful 😍

Thank god for this

this is wonderful

At 6:38 I thought they were gonna break out into The Heartbeats- "Time won't let me dance. And Gabrielle could do the little sisters dance.

what a fresh, organic sound she has

I'm feeling some Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays fame here... very nice!

🔥 Who is listening this in 2020 This performance is beautiful 1:16 ❣💖 👇👇👇🔥

Anyone know what kind of guitar she is playing? Looks kind of like a PRS but never seen one with those inlays.

This reminds me of Mary Win, only not as "rich" in vocal tone (to me). NPR, you guys should really invite Mary Win to play one of these TDC. She has been on youtube so long and her voice/style is so amazing.

real music love it

Pretty nice voice. I dig it

i wish i had your voice

hopefully her next album has an acoustic feel to it. the songs she performs here sound much better in an acoustic versions. album has too many sound effects..

is this what home feels like

Yesss !!!! Me encanta !

omg @ the absolute look felix is serving

where she is now

Cool!

wow! I ended up here via frankie cosmo. got lucky :)

bello

chillll

Bjork's Biophilia in the backround

nice voice

I just got back from New Brunswick. Is she from there?

does anybody know what guitar model she has?

I only clicked on this video out of curiously because of the 'Eskimeaux' name. Hoped maybe we had some local talent make it out of my area. With some research I found she is part Tlinget, which is not distinguished as being Eskimo. Maybe she should visit the area and get in touch with her roots if she really wants to find herself and grasp onto that identity. Otherwise, it's a tad offensive.

Reminds me a lot of Julie Doiron

what kind of guitar is that?

frankie cosmos?

it Chord ok

Ummm am I the only one that thinks she is a lot like Frankie Cosmos. It's extremely scary .

Great voice. I just look at her and think I am watching Popeye's wife Olive Oyl. Still really good. :-)

This is a video is a

Update her band name, guys - she did. Because a white chick called “Esquimaux” singing about spirit animals? Shitty.

I swear to god, I skipped the intro to hear the music, I heard her sing "I don't want to be responsible" and then I thought "She has a nose ring, hairy armpits, and she doesn't want responsibility... I bet she's a feminist." And then the camera zoomed out and I saw "GENDER" on her shirt. Damn, my guess was spot on.

Looks like she needs to sing for her dinner

Armpits made for radio. Great set though.

Yikes

I love this series. I’ve liked everyone so far. But this is trash
