Tiny Ruins is the musical alias adopted by New-Zealand based singer-songwriter Hollie Fullbrook, who began her career as a solo act and later expanded to include a full band. Since the release of her debut album, "Some Were Meant for Sea," in 2011, Tiny Ruins has been celebrated for its intimate and detailed songwriting, alongside Fullbrook’s evocative vocal style. Her music is characterized by a melancholic, folk-influenced sound that's both delicate and powerful, underscored by poetic lyrics and intricate acoustic arrangements.

The project garnered international praise with subsequent releases and collaborations, further crafting their sound and expanding their reach. "Olympic Girls," released in 2019, marked their most expansive and ambitious work to date, earning acclaim for its lush compositions and Fullbrook’s storytelling prowess. The album was later reimagined in a stripped-back solo performance, showcasing Fullbrook’s versatility as an artist and her ability to captivate with or without a backing ensemble. Aside from studio albums, Tiny Ruins has also offered listeners gems like "Hurtling Through" and "Dream Wave," singles that continue to enchant with their dreamy, folk-driven narratives and moody atmospheres.
