The vinyl of LUIK‘s album Outrar finally arrived! This copy is currently enjoying the cold air and spring sun, but we have more copies in stock. These are meant for you, to buy online, if you like experimental guitar music such as Loren Connors, Raphael Roginski, Bert Dockx and John Frusciante.
Wow, the crowdfunding really took off in the last week. I never expected so many people (123 supporters so far!) to support this project and label with so much love – thank you all!
We’ve already surpassed 100% as of now, with 2 more days to go. Any extra funds raised in these remaining days will help cover additional costs: artwork (risoprints, stickers), shipping, artist payments for the release party, etc. As always, I’ll make sure every euro goes to the right place (and back into the creative sector).
Now it’s time for some music sharing, right? Here’s a new sneak preview of the album! The track Wheel by wh^rl – Jurgen Veenstra’s project from Groningen – was recorded specifically for the compilation. This powerful lo-fi burst of emotions comes with a stunning stop-motion video by Ineke Duivenvoorde (Katzwijm, Space Siren, Howrah). Watch and enjoy!
On his new album 6:00PM, Amsterdam-based Hungarian singer Kristóf Hajós is exploring what it means to grow older in the queer community. The record is produced by Dutch indie pop musician Stefan Breuer (The World of Dust, Combo Qazam, Tiny Room Records) and contains nine chiseled, catchy songs that reflect both the disco pop of the 80s as the lo-fi indie of this present era.
6:00PM was released digitally and on vinyl by Tiny Room Records (together with Hajós’ own imprint Bitterfly Music) on 13 February 2025. Check it out on the streaming platform of your choice, and buy the vinyl on Bandcamp (or in NL record stores)!
Tiny Room Records is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a very special release: Foundlings Vol. 1 & 2. Over the past decade, the label has championed lo-fi, indie, slowcore, and bedroom folk, releasing around 70 records and organizing countless shows. To mark this milestone, founder Stefan Breuer has curated a double album of ‘foundlings’—unreleased tracks from artists in and around the label. Some songs didn’t fit on previous records, others are brand-new, and some have been waiting for years to be heard. With contributions from artists like Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Karl Blau, I am Oak, Perry Owen Wright, Coaster, Ilsha, Combo Qazam, and many more, Foundlings Vol. 1 & 2 is a carefully crafted collection of rare and remarkable recordings.
For the first time ever, Tiny Room is launching a crowdfunding campaign to bring this release to life. The funds will cover mastering and pressing the album on two slices of 180-gram vinyl, complete with a beautifully designed gatefold sleeve featuring the stories behind the songs. If you love independent music and want to support the DIY underground scene, this is your chance to be part of something truly special. Join the celebration, and help give these lost songs the home they deserve. Thank you for your support!

Single Goodbye Budapest by Kristóf Hajós is out now! 🙌
Kristóf’s second single from his upcoming album, 6:00PM, is a true origin story in more senses. This dynamic indie-pop song pictures him leaving his city on a flight, which is (by some miracle) not late. Just on time. The bitterness and the sweetness of connections to the past both appear in the song.
The music for Goodbye Budapest, which is released in both English and Hungarian was written by a true Hungarian legend, László Pásztor, who founded and wrote most songs for the immensely popular disco – pop band of the iron curtain era, Neoton. He went on to sell more than six million records from Hungary to Japan, also winning the Grand Prix of the Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in 1983. Pásztor, now aged 79, took his guitar out of its retirement of over 20 years for this song only.
