Mac Miller's Swimming marked a pivotal point in the late artist's
career. His devotion to constant sonic exploration and artistic
reinvention had already been well-documented prior to the album's
release -- the quantum leap from his Billboard chart-topping debut Blue
Slide Park to his sophomore album Watching Movies with the Sound Off,
his tour de force as a producer on his 2014 mixtape Faces and ability to
direct a full band on 2016's The Divine Feminine were evidence of his
steadfast commitment to growth in his craft. Yet upon its release,
Swimming was immediately understood by both his fans and critics alike
as the high water mark of his career: an album that perfectly showcased
the musical chops he had developed vocally and instrumentally over the
course of a decade. This understanding was reinforced when, just 3 days
after the album's release, NPR Music published a Tiny Desk Concert where
Miller and band performed album cuts "Small Worlds," "What's The Use?"
featuring regular collaborator Thundercat and "2009" with a full band.
The now-iconic performance remains one of the highest streamed
performances in the history of NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series and is now
available on vinyl for the first time.
