Garciaphone – Better and Better (new single)
All posts by stefanbreuer
New signing: Boeije
Hooray, we hereby welcome a new addition to the Tiny Room family! The band Boeije is the autobiographical project of singer and guitarist Rienko Boeije, who grew up in Zeeland. His songs are sometimes small and intimate, sometimes grand and almost exploding with bombast. The Dutch lyrics take you through existential themes such as faith, doubt, decay, and growing up on the borders of the Bible Belt. Debut album ‘Uit Gewoonte en Bijgeloof’ (recorded at Katzwijm & Oude Kerk Charlois) will be released on Tiny Room Records this fall.
Julie Doiron/Astral Swans split 7″
We’re so happy to be releasing this beautiful split 7″ by Julie Doiron (Eric’s Trip, Mount Eerie) and Astral Swans. You can hear it now on our Bandcamp page and order one of the 5 copies of the vinyl we have for sale (shipping mid August). Have a good weekend!
The World of Dust – 13 Holy Nights (out now)
The World of Dust steps into the realm of dreams and delivers a lofi triphop album soaked in magic realism.
The 13 Holy Nights take place from 23th December to 6th January. According to anthroposophical teachings, a stronger connection with the spiritual world is possible during this magical time. By following ancient rituals you can reconnect with the natural world and tune in with where you stand in life. One way to look back on the past year and forward to the next is through dreams. During the winter solstice of 2022, The World of Dust’s Stefan Breuer documented his dreams and turned them into these songs.
13 Holy Nights was recorded on a Tascam 388, a ¼-inch tape machine Stefan also used when he started recording at the age of 10. No guitars were used, just percussion, bass, vocals and keyboards. Most of the sounds come from the Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler synthesizer. Weird new sounds for weird dreams, influenced by artists like Robert Wyatt, Portishead, Robert Pollard and The Microphones.
The album has already had a temporary release on Instagram during the last Holy Nights (one song a day, accompanied by AI artwork), but now sees an official release on 7th June by the labels Tiny Room Records (Netherlands), Lousy Moon Records (Germany) and Almost Halloween Time Records (Italy, a label that makes custom album art for every vinyl copy).
Coaster – Painted Faces out now
Painted Faces by Coaster is out now! Listen here if you’re into slowfolk a la Alex G, Low, Red House Painters and Duster. While you’re at it, secure a copy of this beautifully sounding wax with amazing album art – this is why they invented vinyl, right?

Coaster – Waves (official video)
Watch the video for the 3rd single taken off the debut album by Coaster, Painted Faces. This song is called Waves and it’s the last song on the LP. ❤️
“Waves is about being too tired to pretend and wanting to throw yourself into water. Not because you want to be sleeping with the fishes, but because you want to escape and fall asleep with the calm and meditative waves.”
Coaster – Painted Faces (preorder)
Pre-orders are up now for Painted Faces, the debut LP of Coaster, a new slowcore/shoegaze/dreamfolk band hailing from Utrecht. Listen to three of the tracks on our Bandcamp page. The vinyl is in already, so it can reach your doormat pretty soon. Then you can hear the rest 
This is such a great album if you’re into artists like Alex G, Low, Red House Painters and Duster! Comfort food for the sad kids!
wh^rl & Tonsils live shows at Studio Patrick
Since last year, Utrecht based psychedelic post-punk band Combo Qazam has been hosting shows in their rehearsal space, Studio Patrick. During these nights, they are hosting experimental, weird, funny, loud, quiet and great music by independent artists and great people. Studio Patrick is one of the coolest underground venues in the Netherlands. Great sound, cheap drinks, good DIY vibes and the best indie music.
On March 23rd, 2024, Combo Qazam invites wh^rl (whose self-titled debut album came out last November on Tiny Room), who will come with a full band to perform his beautiful, bare lo-fi/indie/folk/blues/noise songs. After that, the Belgian jumpy indie pop outfit Tonsils comes back to the Netherlands, especially for this show. We are beyond excited! If you want to check out Studio Patrick and come to this show, so you’re that cool kid that knows what’s up, look up studio_patrick_utrecht on Instagram and find out more.
