Ok, maybe not. But would it really surprise you? Hollie Fullbrook and her Tiny Ruins band are having a moment. Going from strength to strength with each new album released, it’s only a matter of time until the big shots come knocking and the next thing you know, you’ve got Little Debbie herself on speed dial and you’re DROWNING in Cosmic Cookies!

No, Tiny Ruins are too busy making music and touring to worry about that nonsense. Progressing as it has, the band will take a step sideways and release a “companion collection” to their last and best album Olympic Girls on September 27. Olympic Girls Solo features stripped-down versions of all 11 original album tracks played by Fullbrook solo and recorded at Roundhead Studios in New Zealand when the band were putting the finishing touches on Olympic Girls.

Olympic Girls Solo will be issued by Ba Da Bing Records in North America, Milk! Records in Australia, Marathon Artists in Europe, and the band’s own Ursa Minor Records in New Zealand. Pre-save the album here and check out Fullbrook’s unassisted take on Olympic Girls highlight “One Million Flowers” below.

And that’s not all. There are a TON of Tiny Ruins live shows happening over the next few months, both with the full band (with Jen Cloher on the “Spring Tour of Aotearoa” [the Māori name for New Zealand] in September) and Fullbrook Tiny Ruins solo tours of North America (with Kiwi companion Aldous Harding, in September and October) and Europe, UK, and Ireland in October and November (all shows listed below).
