Swedish-Australian indie pop outfit Tiny Fighter<\/a><\/strong> present their new ‘Tell Me’ EP<\/strong><\/a>, which is being released via Stockholm-based label Bay Terrace Records<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> This 3-track offering was recorded and produced by legendary multi-Grammy, Gold & Platinum Award producer Thomas ‘Plec’ Johansson<\/strong> at The Panic Room<\/strong><\/a> in Sk\u00f6vde in southern Sweden, a collaboration that allowed them to further refine their sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On previous releases, they recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm with Daniel Rejmer (Foals, Ben Frost, Girls Names),<\/strong> extending on the more melodic moments from their previous work with bands such as Fire to the Stars and Mid-State Orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiny Fighter offers an enticing mix of indie-rock and berserker chamber pop. Despite the staggering odds against them ever meeting, Therese Karlsson<\/strong> (a truck driver from Kalmar in southern Sweden) and Tim Spelman<\/strong> (a doctor from Melbourne, Australia) met in Stockholm and began collaborating in 2017. Tiny Fighter quickly expanded into a 5-piece with the addition of Tommy Wilen, Marcus Wallberg and Robin Zimmermann, bringing all the dynamics and volume of their recorded material on to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTell Me is an appeal for clarity \u2013 both personally and politically \u2013 in a setting where distrust and ambiguity appear increasingly to dominate people\u2019s relationships, both with each other and the broader world in general. It\u2019s about exasperation, about a need for a simple, straight answer \u2013 tell me, yes or no,\u201d says Therese Karlsson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiny Fighter has quickly built a strong reputation for their stirring live performances and for their ability to tastefully mix catchy indie-pop with darker themes and arrangements. Sharon Van Etten, Catpower and Agnes Obel number among their influences, as do Gyllene Tider, Mitski, Veruca Salt and Kim Shatturk\/The Muffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“After starting life as a duo, this is the first recording with a full band, and I think that’s reflected in the stronger, fuller sound compared to our earlier singles,” says Tim Spelman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the success with their first three singles‘New Century’<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>‘Want Friends’<\/strong><\/a>and‘Hollow Talk’<\/strong><\/a>, Tiny Fighter have grown from an artsy studio project to a full-fledged live band capable of selling out tours and filling larger music venues. Tiny Fighter completed a run of sold-out shows throughout Scandinavia and Europe in the summer of 2018, followed by a North American tour in November 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of April 26, the ‘Tell Me’ EP will be available across online stores like iTunes<\/strong><\/a> and streaming platforms such as Spotify<\/strong><\/a>. It can also be ordered directly from Tiny Fighter via Bandcamp<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
