Tiny Animals now prepare to release Our Own Time, their second full-length on North Street Records, written in a more collaborative fashion, as well as with vocal improvements, a shift in lyric writing, distinct drum and guitar parts, and vocal harmonies. “We’re all wearing our hearts on our sleeves with this record,” says drummer Rita Maye. The result is an album that can be listened to from beginning to end and paints a moving picture. “Our Own Time is built like a luxury car we otherwise couldn’t afford,” says bassist Anton Kreisl with a chuckle. “It’s a great ride that will hold its value.” Produced by Tiny Animals and Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, Muse), and mastered by Steve Fallone of Sterling Sound, Our Own Time will release on April 5, 2011. Our Own Time follows Tiny Animals’ 2009 debut album, Sweet Sweetness, which was met with raving reviews from notable publications like Amplifier Magazine, The Big Takeover and All Music Guide, highlighting the trio’s appealing uniqueness. Tiny Animals is a band of three distinctly comical, creative and musically masterful individuals who, as a whole, create a personality that’s incredibly interesting, genuine and downright lovable. Guitarist and brother to Rita Maye, Chris Howerton says, “We’re not rockstar-cool; we’re three dorky people playing music. No leather jackets, no slicked hair, no cigarettes.” That said, with three down-to-earth musicians who rock hard, including a hot chick drummer, it’s difficult not to call Tiny Animals cool. It’s their playful, honest mentality that lends itself to unique and widely talked about creations outside of the music including comical webisodes, documentaries, video games and iPhone apps, as well as the realization that taking good-looking photographs are impossible. Growing up on 90’s grunge and alternative rock, Tiny Animals truly believe that it’s best to come as you are. http://www.tinyanimals.net|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Animals| |
