Tell It to the Volcano

Miniature Tigers

Short, shimmering indie pop songs that pair glockenspiel melodies with surreal lyrics about volcanoes and cannibals. Bright, nostalgic, and deceptively sad.

It's like The Beach Boys wrote a soundtrack for a quirky indie movie about dinosaurs and heartbreak.

A playful and sun-drenched exterior that hides a core of genuine, surrealist melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The infectious opening handclaps and doo-wop bounce of Cannibal Queen that masks its darker lyrical undertones.

The way the title track builds from a simple acoustic strum into a lush, multi-tracked vocal explosion.

The hauntingly sparse piano and cinematic atmosphere that closes the album on Last Night's Fake Blood.
