Determine Rec.    The Tiny : Close Enough (S,2004)****

The first album of The Tiny. This is mostly a song based album, of a colourful emotional, melodically dancing-a-bit-like-a-butterfly voice of Ellekari Larsson accompanied by cello (Leo Svensson) and double bass (Johan Berthling) and piano/organ/harmonium mostly. The songs reveal a true romantic nature (made for true love) which is truly inflicting (but just look through some of the confessions). Highly recommended.

Determine Rec.    The Tiny : Starring; someone like you (S,2006)****

The second album starts from a richer range of a production world of expressions, starting already in the first tracks with additional toypiano, reverb loops, rich vocal harmony arrangements, piano lead, orchestrations,... The expressions take more than one step further since the previous album. “Mother” almost sounds like coming from a musical, is deep in expressions (taking also one recognisable line from the Beatles), and flows also really high. Also “Know your demons” take the song to a comparable height. Also this gets a full arrangement, with additional percussion, and a complete lala choir. The rest of the album builds up further like an ambitiously orchestrated/arranged “rock” opera, and ends with a really grand finale (with the inclusion of ghosts of vocal arrangements and a string as well as a wind orchestra) on “my greatest fear”. An album that has strong tensions again and again, that will leave no one untouched.
