Tiny Ruins announces new album 'Olympic Girls'

The second single from Tiny Ruins album No.3 www.tinyruins.com Song Credits: Produced & Mixed by Tom Healy Written and co-produced by Hollie Fullbrook Recorded at Paquin Studios at The Lab, Mt.

Tiny Ruins announces the upcoming release of their new album Olympic Girls on February 1st, 2019. The title track 'Olympic Girls' is released with its official music video and can be viewed above.

Directed by Charlotte Evans, the video follows the first acoustic guitar flourish of ‘Olympic Girls’ ushering the potent words of Tiny Ruins’ Hollie Fullbrook – “Stirring, shaken, all of us waking." The track is buoyant with a rolling energy. "Another day bolder / A love spell rushes you by.” Cascading electric guitars counterpoint with a razor-sharp post-punk edge as the drums and bass stampede along, Fullbrook urging an exhilarating shake-up of the status quo – as the chorus dictates, “We were only inches away / still have a long, long way to go.”

Album three, Olympic Girls, was produced by bandmate Tom Healy. Patiently built in the same underground lair (Paquin Studios at The Lab in hometown Auckland) as their previous record Brightly Painted One. Whereas that was recorded in three short weeks, the new album was made over a drawn out period of spontaneity and experimentation spanning a year, stridently reaching beyond Fullbrook’s formerly minimalist domain.
