{"product_id":"live_from_nprs_tiny_desk","title":"Live From NPR's Tiny Desk","description":"\u003cp\u003eLive From NPR’s Tiny Desk is a 2026 EP by the Goo Goo Dolls that captures the band’s first appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series, recorded in November 2025 and released digitally and on vinyl the following March. The four‑song set strips their arena‑scale alt‑rock down to an intimate, mostly acoustic format, with John Rzeznik’s weathered “velvet rasp” and close‑miked guitars placed front and center, supported by longtime bandmate Robby Takac on bass and a small touring ensemble on keys, second guitar, mandolin, and drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSequenced as it was performed at the Desk, the EP opens with “Slide,” then revisits the underrated 2006 deep cut “Feel the Silence,” introduces newer ballad “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes)” from their Summer Anthem EP, and closes with a sing‑along version of their signature hit “Iris.” In this format the songs lean more toward adult‑contemporary folk‑rock, with softer drums, piano fills, and mandolin coloring emphasizing melodies and lyrics over volume, while the small‑room ambience and audible crowd reactions preserve the conversational, slightly nervous vibe Rzeznik jokes about in the original broadcast. Critics and fans see Live From NPR’s Tiny Desk as a compact nostalgia piece that also underlines the band’s continuing relevance, documenting how material from different eras—late‑’90s staples and newer cuts—can all be reshaped to fit an intimate, storytelling‑oriented setting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53327639609658,"sku":"37731","price":35.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-04-16_at_12.52.49_PM.jpeg?v=1780041636","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/live_from_nprs_tiny_desk","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
