History

Tiny Ruins began as an alias for singer-songwriter Hollie Fullbrook, who had recorded as a solo artist prior to 2009.[1] Fullbrook recorded a collaborative EP with A Singer of Songs in 2010 under the name Tiny Ruins, then recorded a full-length, Some Were Meant for Sea, in 2011. Following the release of Some Were Meant for Sea Tiny Ruins opened for Fleet Foxes and toured internationally with Calexico and Beach House.[1] After adding Cass Basil and Alexander Freer to the lineup, Tiny Ruins recorded a second album, Brightly Painted One, which was released in 2014.[2][3] Guitarist Tom Healy and violinist Siobhanne Thompson performed on the album and appeared with the group on subsequent tours.[4] Brightly Painted One was awarded Best Alternative Album at the New Zealand Music Awards in November 2014.[5]

In 2016, Hollie Fullbrook teamed up with Hamish Kilgour and former Terrorways, Gary Havoc & The Hurricanes[6][7] drummer Gary Hunt for the Hurtling Through release.[8]
