Live From My Den Season 1

Colombian-American singer Sebastian Yatra is the premiere artist on “Live From My Den,” a new weekly performance series from Artists Den and Variety.

Aloe Blacc introduces his new album “All Love Everything.” The episode also features live performances of songs from Blacc’s latest album, filmed at his favorite studio near his home in LA, which he calls his “home away from home.”

Features Glass Animals frontman Dave Bayley performing in his London home. We get a remarkable tour of his townhouse and studio from Bayley himself, who is clad in stylish beige overalls and does some ambitious camerawork with his iPhone, giving a very detailed inspection of his enviable home studio. Amid all sorts of memorabilia, bric-a-brac and geegaws, look out for indoor palm trees, a coffee-table book on toilet paper, a custom pair of Glass Animals-Denzel Curry nunchuks and a heating pad. He plays music, too! While he’s playing songs from the group’s third and most recent album, “Dreamland,” he gives an intimate and revealing look about the process behind the art — it’s probably the way a great many of the group’s songs were born.

Electronic music duo Phantogram, fresh off the release of their fourth album “Ceremony,” perform songs from their Los Angeles home studio Harmonie West. Hailing from the town of Greenwich in Upstate New York, Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter take viewers on a tour of their Laurel Canyon, Calif., home, displaying the fan art and posters they’ve collected over the years, and providing an inside look at their creative process for their visually inspired “Ceremony.” Phantogram played “When I’m Small,” off of their first album “Eyelid Movies,” followed by a performance of a stripped-down rendition of their hit “Fall in Love” and “Bill Murray,” both off of the duo’s second studio album “Voices.”

Foster the People premieres songs from the band’s new EP, “In The Darkest of Nights, Let the Birds Sing” in the fifth and latest episode of “Live From My Den,” the Artists Den series presented with Variety. In a reflection of our lockdown times, the segment was filmed across five cities and three time zones in New York, Nashville, Austin, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego. In the 33-minute segment, the group talks — transcontinentally! — about how the songs for the EP came together and what it’s like to try to be a working band sprawled across the country. The EP will be released on December 11.

Pink Sweat$ shared an intimate live performance of his song “At My Worst” from his recent “Prelude” EP in the sixth and latest episode of “Live From My Den,” the Artists Den series presented with Variety. The segment, also featuring the singer’s brother on the piano, was recorded in his L.A. home. In the 23-minute clip, Pink Sweat$, whose real name is David Bowden, talks about breaking into the R&B scene with his debut EP in 2018 and the inspiration behind his EP “The Prelude” that was released in July. The artist joined the conversation from his intimate workspace with pink walls, and took the audience through a quick tour, during which he showcased his recording equipment and drum set. The clip also features the singer’s performance of “Honesty,” “Lows” and “17.”

Features indie folk band The Head and the Heart as they perform songs from their latest album “Living Mirage: The Complete Recordings,” a special edition vinyl of which will be released on Record Store Day Friday (Nov. 27). Fresh off the release of the deluxe edition of “Living Mirage,” their fourth studio album, vocalists Charity Rose Thielen and Matt Gervais performed a cover of late singer-songwriter John Prine’s “All the Best” and “Backwards Breathing” from their recently constructed garage-turned-home-studio in Seattle, Wash. Meanwhile, vocalist, guitarist and percussionist Jon Russell sang “One Big Mystery” and a stripped-down version of their single “Honeybee,” which was among the tunes the band wrote on a music retreat in a low-key studio in Joshua Tree, Calif. last year.
