Hurtling
Through is the most recent release
from songwriter Hollie
Fullbrook, of Tiny
Ruins. The EP is released 27th November in New Zealand
2015 and early 2016 in the US on Flying
Nun Records. It is also released 27th November on Bella Union in
UK/Europe and Spunk
Records in Australia.
Hurtling Through was recorded and produced in collaboration with US-based Hamish Kilgour, of The Clean. The two
first met in New York City in the late fall of 2013, where they spent a week
performing a number of shows together. On the final day of Fullbrook’s stay in
New York, they recorded two songs in a basement studio with engineer &
producer Gary Olson.
A year later, Fullbrook was back in New York after a long stint of touring, and
the pair recorded an additional four tracks, again with Olson. The result is a
seven-track EP of folk-based songs. The record includes two W.B. Yeats poems set
to music, as well as a field recording of a late-night Brooklyn walk - with
percussionist Kilgour taking a silver spoon to the railings and lamp-posts of
the borough. The tracks feature Fullbrook on acoustic and electric guitars, her
distinctive vocals captured in a raw & natural form. Kilgour contributes on
drums and an eclectic array of percussion, with guest appearances from Greg Vegas on
saxophone, and Danny
Tunick on bass and vibraphone.
Listen to the first single and
title track Hurtling Through on Soundcloud.
