Out now: the new Todd Tobias solo album Ammon and Goam!
Ammon and Goam is a collection of soundscape cues from a make-believe film featuring the title characters in a mostly quiet adventure full of mystery and foreboding as they travel together through a world where civilization exists only in scattered, disconnected tide pools of activity. A palate of analog sonic colors adds to the retro science fiction flavor. Ammon and his half-animal friend Goam answer a call leading them farther and farther into strange territory.
We are proud to release this special project on the longest night of the year, the winter solstice. Three Friends of Winter is an intercontinental collaboration between Hako (Osaka, Japan), I am Oak, and The World of Dust (both Utrecht, the Netherlands).
Beyond the fact that the song is released by three friends on the first day of winter, Three Friends of Winter is also an art concept inspired by pine, bamboo, and plum. Together, these three symbolize steadfastness, perseverance, and resilience. We are all very happy we finished this recording and are finally putting it out into the world!
The music was composed by Hako, Stefan, and Thijs. The lyrics were written by Stefan (first part) and Thijs (second part). The single is now available digitally on a platform of your choice, as well as on a limited-edition transparent square 7” (in the Tiny Room Records Bandcamp store).
This Sunday you are welcome to relax, ponder, create and listen at the second edition of De Mijmerwerkplaats in De CLOU in De Bilt!
The last time (when Toby & Leslie, Boo Hoo and The World of Dust performed), quite a lot of people showed up and spent the evening drawing and doodling. These are some of the artworks of that night:
Doors open at 14H30, live music by Immen & Astral Swans start at 15H00. The address is Molenkamp 44, De Bilt, and entrance and drinks are based on donations.
Brace yourself, because the second edition of the Mijmerwerkplaats (“Musing Workshop”) is just around the corner! On Sunday afternoon, December 7th, the CLOU in De Bilt will once again offer a space to slow down, listen, and create. There will be pencils and paper available, as well as beautiful, calming music to contemplate—and, if you like, to doodle, sketch, or draw along with.
Strategically planned right after the busy Sinterklaas festivities (who wouldn’t want to unwind?), you’re welcome at the CLOU (Molenkamp 44, De Bilt) from 3:00 PM onward. Starting at 3:30 PM, there will be live music by Astral Swans (experimental folk from Canada) and Immen, the Frisian-language project of Clasine Haringsma from Utrecht—who performed at Into The Great Wide Open just a few months ago.
Admission is free; donations (via QR code or cash) are very welcome!
Just like last year, we’ll be present at the annual winter fair at the VechtclubXL. On November 23rd, you can find us selling Tiny Room Records vinyl, cds, tapes and zines. A good opportunity to buy something local as a Christmas or Sinterklaas present. And to help me get rid of these boxes!! 😅
This Sunday, the last Tiny Adventures edition of the year will take place in Houten! We’re hosting two Tiny Room acts in De Groeverij. Both artists came back after a long hiatus with new (and different!) music under the same moniker as 15 years ago.
LUIK will open the afternoon show with his improvised guitar pieces. Beautiful, mind-altering sounds, getting even better each show.
Herrek will play afterwards. New songs, Dutch lyrics, with a big role for piano and bass clarinet. Transparent, inwards, soothing. A double bill that could have happened in 2011 (and probably did) but only sounds this way in 2025.
Surprise! There is a new Caspar Milquetoast for you to enjoy! Check it out on our Bandcamp page.
After the last EP, We’ll Have Tea, Caspar Milquetoast returns with ten new songs that slip between camp, fantasy and history, crafted with Mellotron dreams and harmonium depth.
Another Olive, Praefectus? gathers ten tracks written and recorded between 2022 and 2025. Some appeared suddenly (Song For Body was captured in a single hour) while others, like Ode To The Gladiator, simmered for years before taking shape. Together they form a compact, 20-minute world of sound and text: a new place to dwell in, as fleeting as it is rich.
No physical release this time, so enjoy these digital tracks until the end of times!
With the ‘Combo Qazam presents’ Patrick-shows we are hosting experimental, weird, funny, loud, quiet and great music by independent artists and great people.
For this edition we want to welcome you for a night of local free jazzy ambient, danceable electronica layering and USA country rock ‘n’ roll!
Hainesii Hainesii is a project by Max van Westerop (of former local indie outfit Loema) in which themes of mortality, care and the heart are explored in songs, whilst drawing inspiration from genres like ambient music, post-rock and tinges of free/spiritual jazz.
Tobin Kirk Tobin Kirk is an American songwriter and performer whose colorful path—from train driving to delivering groceries to John Prine—reflects the character and storytelling at the heart of his music. Tobin blends classic and cosmic country, rock & roll, and cowpunk into a sound that’s both timeless and fresh. His first two albums were released by our partners in Houten of De Groeverij!
Laplander Laplander is a one-man band crafting indietronica with a melancholic edge. From the vast landscapes of the Biesbosch, where he lives, he builds tracks that are both layered and danceable.
