The Dismemberment Plan, a Washington, D.C.-based indie rock band, surprised many by performing at NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concert. Despite their typically fleshed-out sound, the band delivered stripped-down arrangements of songs from "Uncanney Valley." Notable moments included singer Travis Morrison nervously navigating a call-and-response segment and the band's ramshackle charm shining through the set. Formed in 1993, The Dismemberment Plan consists of Eric Axelson, Jason Caddell, Joe Easley, and Travis Morrison. Known for albums like 1999's "Emergency & I," the band reunited in 2013 to release "Uncanney Valley" after a 10-year hiatus, showcasing their playful and wry musical style.
