The Tiny (S)
There isn’t a genre or pat phrase that’s fit to describe Sweden’s power-folk duo The Tiny.
Chamber pop might be right, if only because there’s a cello involved. Cabaret might be closer, if only because it feels like the kind of music that could be played in a dimly-lit piano bar. You certainly can’t call it twee, though it can sound cute at times, and you’d probably want to shy away from calling it indie pop for that matter. You could really stretch and try calling it operatic post-rock, but that would just be annoying.
The Tiny’s third album Gravity & Grace is now a fact.
“This album took a long time to make. Even though the actual recording itself didn’t take such a long time, most of it is just live-recordings with a few additional sounds. We wanted to capture the essence of The Tiny. The energy from our live-shows. We wanted the songs to have all the ingredients necessary from the beginning. So that when we pressed the record, we would play everything that would carry the songs in a pithy way.”
