Tiny Ruins – “Dorothy Bay”

Tiny Ruins – “Dorothy Bay”

Last month, the New Zealand band Tiny Ruins released their first new material since 2019, the lovely “The Crab / Waterbaby.” Today, they’re announcing a new album, Ceremony, their follow-up to Olympic Girls. It was inspired by bandleader Hollie Fullbrook’s wanderings around Manukau Harbour, and new single “Dorothy Bay” is all about the water. “You carry on/ The tide is a radar/ Breathing on/ Like it or not,” Fullbrook sang. “Picks you up with her signal/ Just as before/ There’s a strong pull harbour-way.” Watch a video for it below.
