All Tiny Creatures is an experimental pop band based in Middleton and Madison Wisconsin. They were formed in 2008 by multi-instrumentalist and Volcano Choir member Thomas Wincek.[1] Started as an instrumental project influenced by Krautrock, electronic music and classical minimalism, they later started incorporating vocals and more traditional pop song structures into their work.[2]

The band has released two full length albums (Harbors and Dark Clock), an EP (Segni) and two cassette tapes (An Iris Mixtape and Glass Bubbles Mixtape).[3]

History

In 2011 the band released an album, Harbors,[4][5] which featured vocals by Justin Vernon, Helado Negro, Megafaun and Ryan Olcott of the band 12 Rods.[6][7] The artwork for Harbors was done by designer Aaron Draplin.[8] The music website Pitchfork.com gave Harbors a 7.8 rating.[9]

All Tiny Creatures' second album, Dark Clock was released in 2013.[10] In 2014 the band toured in support of the album with the band Lost in the Trees, including performances in Philadelphia and Montreal.[11]

Although Thomas Wincek became a member of the band Field Report in 2014,[12] and member Andrew Fitzpatrick became a member of Bon Iver in 2016,[13] All Tiny Creatures continued performing, including a tour in 2017 with Barry Clark and No Death.[14]
