On this edition of All Songs Considered<\/em> I’m joined by Marissa Lorusso, our Tiny Desk Contest leader and also a critical contributor to NPR Music’s Turning the Tables<\/em> project.<\/p>\n

Marissa plays music from the ’90s San Jose trio, Duster. They’re getting back together, but not before a boxed set of their storied past comes out. Marissa is also a fan of Bellows, the music of Oliver Kalb, who we also know from the band Gabby’s World (formerly Eskimeaux and O). And we hear music from Heather Woods Broderick, a songwriter and singer we’ve featured not only for her own music but for being a stage and studio partner with Sharon Van Etten. I play music from Tiny Desk Contest entrant Jackie Mendoza who performs a stripped-down, more focused remake of the song she submitted to our contest called “De Lejos” about loving from afar. We also hear great trance guitar from a Tuareg musician from the Saharan region. It’s a recording he made in Detroit after a chance meeting with a producer who shared his love of ZZ Top’s Tres Hombres <\/em>record.<\/p>\n
