Tiny Telephones

Patrick HeaneyとAaron Blombergの2人によって結成されたポスト・ロック・バンド。レコーディングにTHE ALBUM LEAFのJimmy Lavalleが参加していることから、彼らがエクスペリメンタルな音を奏でることは想像が容易であろう。Track.1「A Dream In Death」は冷たいドローンなイントロから徐々に神秘的なポスト・ロック・サウンドに展開していき、Track.2「Unfortunately We're Here」はミニマルなドラムと緻密に敷き詰められた音色が実に気持ちよく、Track.3「February 29, 1996」では淡いヴォーカルがSIGUR ROSを彷彿とさせる。冷たさと暖かさが同居したこの季節にハマる優しい作品。（伊藤 啓太） - Skream!

excerpt -
"CAVANAUGH: … Now, you're excited about one of the opening bands, tiny telephones.

HOLSLIN: Yeah, they're a really cool local band, and they have members of this other band called shark attack, which isn't around anymore. They just released a new album called the heavenly child. And you might call it postrock. It fits into that sort of genre, not to go with the nerdy genre things again. But basically suffice it to say, it's very that you feel, and it's heavy but it's also very introspective." - KPBS

Some really amazing stuff here. Forming in late 2011, this band has been labeled as a cross between Explosions in the Sky and M83.. wow, right? They even worked with Jimmy LaValle, of The Album Leaf, on mixing the record. At this point you’re probably already scrolling down to listen… - SlyVinyl

Tiny Telephones formed in late 2011 to write the album “The Heavenly Child” which has been called a cross between [ Explosions in the Sky ] and [ M83 ]. They worked with multiple engineers on mixing the record including Jimmy LaValle of [ The Album Leaf ].
When recording the album Patrick Heaney and Aaron Blomberg didn’t want to take a conventional approach to tracking, “we set up a small mobile recording rig to take with us to different spots to get different sounds”, says Patrick. “We recorded some guitars in the woods, some big drums in abandoned warehouses, random sounds at the train station and on boats! A whole bunch of different stuff”, Aaron adds. The rest of the album was done at Patrick Heaney’s studio Secret Cedar Recording Studio and engineered by both members.

And here goes a new project that I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND especially if [ The Album Leaf ] ~ [ Hammock ] and [ The American Dollar ] is your things. Think of [ Tiny Telephones ] more a solid version of [ The Echelon Effect ] but also more concentrated on the electronic mix side. It’s brilliant guys. Too bad it’s on purchase only but if you can afford it GET IT. This is sound I wouldn’t mind investing. See Recommendations as well. - The Sirens Sound

TINY TELEPHONES “Final Breath” – If M83 and Explosions In The Sky had a beautiful San Diego baby it would be Tiny Telephones. These guys are fantastic. Grab the full album and get ready to zone out. - Invisible Children Blog

Keep an eye out for Tiny Telephones, a new electro-rock supergroup that features Shark Attack’s Patrick Heaney (keyboards) and Aaron Blomberg (guitar), Hyena’s Michael Cooper (drums) and Alia Jyawook (cello) of Kata and Christwaves. Heaney and Blomberg started the band and have been working on material that sounds like a cross between The Album Leaf and Explosions in the Sky, but the full lineup came together only a few weeks ago. They’d rehearsed just once for about half an hour before playing their debut show at The Casbah last week. “The show went surprisingly well for one practice and no one hearing the last song till the day-of,” Heaney says. “Click tracks and good musicians help a ton.” They’re currently recording a full-length album at the Secret Cedar Recording Studio; they expect it will be done by next month. - CityBeat
