“I’ve been able to work with some amazing musicians to make this record, including Tony Thaxton (Motion City Soundtrack), Anthony Raneri (Bayside), Steve Soboslai (Punchline), and Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek/I’m With Her), and I’m confident that these songs are a step in the right direction for Tiny Stills,” shares vocalist/guitarist Kailynn West. “These songs are honest and relatable and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve made. I can’t wait to share it with the world. I hope these songs help someone to feel less alone.“
Tiny Stills is a power pop band from Los Angeles influenced by Courtney Barnett, That Dog, and 90s/00s rock. Their first album, Falling is like Flying was released in 2014 and was a direct response to the isolation and anxiety that comes from life changing events after front-person and founding member Kailynn West was held up at gunpoint. It’s upbeat and pop-y melodies were born from a desire to make something that felt and sounded nothing like the she felt at the time – happy. Since then, West has been the nucleus of the project with a rotating cast of band members, but most recent lineup includes Harry Foster (bass), Zach Comtois(guitar), and Tony Thaxton (drums).
After a last-minute lineup change left an opening on a national tour with Bayside’s Anthony Raneri and A.W. in 2015, West stepped in at the last minute to complete the tour as Tiny Stills. She sold thank you cards with download links as merchandise after selling out of physical copies of the first record; from there, the project hit the ground running.
