Tiny Ruins

On rare occations, I discover music that is so right for me, – music that touches strings deep inside, and makes all my senses and feelings wake up. Tiny Ruins from New Zealand plays this kind of music.
It was a friend of mine who asked me to check out Tiny Ruins‘ music some time ago, and I am so glad I did. Now I’m hoping that you will check out her music too. Tiny Ruins is what Hollie Fullbrook calls herself when she writes and performs her intensely beautiful acoustic songs. She is a student in Wellington, and during her university years, she has made music for small theatre productions, played open-mic shows and made a lot of songs with her guitar in her bedroom.
There is a unique atmosphere in Tiny Ruins’ songs, and her vocals sound so timeless. It’s not music that screams “HEY, LISTEN!!!”, – it’s more quiet songs for rooms with dim lighting, late evenings, maybe with a good book as company.
As far as I know, Hollie has not released anything officially yet, but she has recently bought herself some home recording equipment, so let’s hope that we will see a release some time during 2010…
For now, you can listen to her beautiful songs on her myspace or download this little gem right here on Eardrums:
Tiny Ruins – The Death of a Russian
Isn’t this wonderful music?
