Pygmy Lush, an atmospheric folk band hailing from Sterling, Virginia, performed their first live show in seven years at a recent Tiny Desk concert. The band, formed by ex-members of pg. 99, showcased haunting campfire singalongs from their previous albums like "Mount Hope" and a split LP track with Turboslut. Known for their simple yet emotive acoustic melodies, hushed vocals, and gentle swells, Pygmy Lush's music allows small feelings to take root and wander.

Originating from a background in noise punk and acoustic folk, Pygmy Lush's evolution from their earlier days to their more introspective sound has been described as a "metamorphosis" by reviewers. With releases like "Bitter River" and "Mount Hope," the band has cultivated a unique blend of styles that resonate with audiences. Their discography includes collaborations with notable figures like Kurt Ballou of Converge, emphasizing their growth and musical maturity over the years.

Despite their musical journey and various side projects, Pygmy Lush continues to captivate listeners with their heartfelt, experimental approach to folk music. Their recent Tiny Desk concert served as a reminder of the band's enduring presence in the music scene and their ability to evoke profound emotions through their delicate and introspective sound.
