SXSW Preview (Swedish Style) - New Song From The Tiny

Posted: 13 Mar 2009 06:14 AM PDT

The Tiny are one of Sweden’s most intriguing bands. They create some of the most dynamic and mysterious music coming out of Sweden. I think they match up well with/against Regina Spector, Kate Bush, and a more sane (and accessible) Joanna Newsom. I’ve written about the band every chance I get. And now word is that there is a new record coming out in the fall of 2009 produced by Paul Webb (Beth Gibbons, James Yorkston).

“Burn” will undoubtably find it’s way on there. It’s an epic track that somehow manages to awe without incendiary over the top instrumentation or grandiose vocal theatrics. But still it is powerful stuff.

The Tiny play SXSW on Friday, March 20 at The Wave.
