The haunting country soul of New Zealand’s Tiny Ruins fills The Aurora with the airy, affecting vocals of songwriter Hollie Fullbrook. The trio employs deftly picked guitar melodies, surges of bright brass and in-the-pocket percussion to tell hyper-literate tales shot through with understated emotion.

Their sublime live performances have earned them international acclaim, as well as high-profile champions like Neil Finn, who made a video for the band, while PopMatters dubbed their recent release, Brightly Painted One, “an album of quiet, devastating beauty”.
