On the verge of wrapping up their North American tour, British indie rockers Florence and the Machine made a pitstop at the studios of NPR for an intimate performance as part of their famous 'Tiny Desk' series. An unusual setting for a band habituated to sold-out stadium gigs and for popular frontwoman Florence Welch's overwhelming stage presence, the 'Tiny Desk Concert' saw Florence and the Machine render three well-picked songs.

The set started off with 'June' from the band's latest 2018 album 'High As Hope', followed by yet another album-cut 'Patricia'. In Meaww's review of the album, we lauded Welch and her baroque-pop outfit for "abandoning their grand narratives and melodrama for a stripped down, intimate fourth studio album that shoots straight from the soul."
