tiny deaths, the Minneapolis, MN and Brooklyn, NY based duo of vocalist Claire de Lune and producer Grant Cutler – debuted their new video for song “Ever” this morning, and the Nicholas Larkins Perez directed clip can also so be seen below. “Ever” is the first song released off of tiny deaths’ upcoming new EP, night flowers, which will be released on February 19th, 2016.
In combining de Lune’s background in R&B and Cutler’s more experimental electronica and ambient music leanings, tiny deaths have created a moody, dream pop sound that’s all their own. The night flowers EP is a lush yet ethereal four-song collection, ranging from the soaring undulations of opener “Ever” to the hypnotic “The Gardener;” from the soaring build of “Away” to the melancholic sweep of closer “Backwards.” The EP was written over the past year, with Cutler handling production in Brooklyn and de Lune writing and demoing in Minneapolis, and recorded at Minneapolis’ Human Win Studios. A full track listing is below.
That first chance encounter led to the sessions that would eventually become the group’s self-titled debut EP, released in 2014. Although Cutler had relocated to Brooklyn by the record’s completion, both members realized that they had created something special and continued to collaborate long-distance. The tiny deaths EP led to three U.S. tours in 2015 and numerous accolades, from outlets including Hilly Dilly, The Guardian, and the Minneapolis City Pages, among others.
