Band & Musician News - Tiny Ruins Releases New Music 'The Crab / Waterbaby'
18 January 2023 - 0 Comments
Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland based Tiny Ruins releases a new single, The Crab / Waterbaby. The first musical offering since 2019’s much lauded album, Olympic Girls - a finalist for the Taite Music Prize.
The songs of Tiny Ruins often gift a rich visual and emotive narrative. The Crab / Waterbaby is drawn from a time-honoured walk around the coves of Little Muddy Creek aside the Mānukau Harbour. A Crab is found upturned, showing its soft belly. The songwriter sees in the Crab an experience of suffering - it’s as though everyone can see right through you, into your very innards - ‘you cannot help but speak about it’.
A song about the transcendent comfort of ritual and ceremony that ‘returns you the right way’, to ‘give this day a chance’.
Shimmering electric firebird guitar and minimalist verse arrangements give way to striking Philip Glass-esque strings & a bass solo resembling a scuttling crab that fluidly connects the song's lyrical narrative.
