Tiny Ruins to play at Sherwood
Auckland-based indie-folk band Tiny Ruins will play at the Sherwood on Saturday 13 May as part of their headlining tour supporting the release of their latest album, Ceremony. The album is their fourth and the follow-up to the celebrated and successful 2019 album, Olympic Girls, which was a finalist for the Taite Music Prize. It features the singles ‘Dogs Dreaming’ and ‘Dorothy Bay’.
Hollie Fullbrook is the singer and multi-instrumentalist for the band – she originally performed solo but has now become a strong leader to a band of incredible musicians. Hollie and the band describe their music as spanning delicate folk, lustrous dream pop and ebullient psychedelia.
There were a number of influences for the latest album and Hollie has said one place she drew inspiration from was the Manukau Harbour, which is nearby to where she lives. Ceremony is a really intimate album that intertwines personal experiences and also tends towards a joyful/hopeful take on the passing of time. The overarching theme is realising the beauty of life’s unpredictable paths.
