Swedish couple Ellekari Larsson
(vocals/piano/organs/trumpet/synth) and Leo Svensson
(cello/musical saw/glockenspiel) met in Stockholm and fell in
love, forming The Tiny a mere 6 months later. A few years on,
they are about to release their third album, Gravity & Grace,
in the UK. When I first received the album to review, I
thought that Ellekaris distinctive voice would grate on me
after a few songs. Instead, throughout the album her vocals
flit back and forth from sweet and delicate to raw, emotional
and heartbreaking. As saxophonist Mats Gustafsson says, the
album ôcrawls under skin, into bone and turns your soul
inside out, and its this raw emotion and power that makes
this album stand out.
