May 14, 2018 - Los Angeles, CA - Power pop band Tiny Stills is thrilled to share "Colorblind," the latest single the band's forthcoming sophomore album, Laughing Into The Void. Fans can listen to "Colorblind," which was co-written by Anthony Raneri (Bayside) and Steve Soboslai (Punchline), now on Bring The Noise. Laughing Into the Void will be released on June 1st, 2018, and is full of brutal honesty, crunchy guitars, and catchy melodies that help you remember that even the worst days have a silver lining: at least you're not alone. For more information, or to pre-order the album, please visit: www.tinystills.com.
"I co-wrote this song with Anthony Raneri (Bayside) and Steve Soboslai (Punchline). We wanted to write a song about how being in love can really disguise problems in a relationship that need to be addressed," shares lead singer Kailynn West."Sometimes by the time you figure it out, it's too late and the relationship is unsalvageable. Sometimes love can trick you into thinking everything is fine, but in your gut you know something isn't working."
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.
Tiny Stills will release their highly anticipated sophomore album, Laughing Into the Void, on June 1st, 2018. They'll be celebrating with a hometown album release show on May 31st at The Hi Hat in Los Angeles. For a full list of upcoming tour dates, please see below or visit www.tinystills.com.
