Music News - Tiny Ruins announces new album 'Ceremony'

Tiny Ruins announces new album 'Ceremony'

21 February 2023 - 0 Comments

Tiny Ruins announce their fourth album, Ceremony, out April 28th via Ba Da Bing Records, Marathon Artists and Milk! Records, and share a new single, Dorothy Bay. The follow-up to 2019's celebrated Olympic Girls - a finalist for the Taite Music Prize.

If first single The Crab / Waterbaby was a shimmering meditation on being stuck, Dorothy Bay is a stomping propulsion forward. Like a passing storm, the songwriter is pulled along the pavement by two wayward dogs, yoinking the listener along into a swirling vortex of sound. Perhaps the most rock 'n' roll moment for Tiny Ruins yet, the track is grounded in a weighty rhythm section - almost as if Alex Freer and Cass Basil have been finally unleashed. The duelling acoustic and electric guitars of Hollie Fullbrook and Tom Healy circle overhead before the chorus opens up wide to a view of the harbour itself and a realisation that, 'you carry on - the tide is a radar - breathing on, like it or not.' A song with a strong pull & loudly beating heart, Dorothy Bay continues the saga taking place on the coves of Little Muddy Creek, with more chapters to follow in the much anticipated new album Ceremony due out on April 28th.

Directed by Alexander Gandar, the accompanying video is an epic, psychedelic s
urvey of Āwhitu. It took the small crew and band two days of filming to capture the landscape in all its glory - the results are a buzzy, color-shifting, dreamlike visual confection.
