David Byrne and his gigantic band of blue-clad backing musicians squeezed into the NPR offices for a Tiny Desk Concert , featuring a pair of Talking Heads classics.

While the setup didn’t necessarily allow for the elaborate choreography Byrne and Co. bring to their live performances, there was still plenty of energy throughout the four-song set. Byrne opened with two tracks from his most recent album , Who Is the Sky? , starting with “Everybody Laughs,” which was followed by “Don’t Be Like That.”

Next, Byrne and his band delivered a boisterous rendition of “(Nothing But) Flowers,” bringing the song to a close with a chill-inducing blast of a cappella harmonies. And to wrap up their set, Byrne led the group through the Fear of Music favorite, “Life During Wartime.”
