The Tiny

uneasy minimalist folk

The awkward emotive voice of Ellekari Larsson rattles inside your head. You question what beauty sounds like. A piano and cello creep in with slow trepidation. The song’s lyrics strive for a warm emotional intimacy, but yet the instrumentation and vocals feel almost frigid and aloof. This raw power of this gem, ‘Closer’, hit me immediately when I sampled it from Fat Planet and continues to addictively reel me in.
An intimately disorienting ballad from a trio in Stockholm.

    Lovely track – and what a delicate voice. Can I commend you on your good taste – every post you write has excellent music. You are swelling the coffers of Amazon.co.uk with my money.

    Wow — The Tiny is amazing. I’m a big fan of bands like CocoRosie and this is the same genre and it’s aweseome.
