Tinyfolk
DISCOGRAPHY
2323
ViewsTinyfolk is Russ Woods (and sometimes Meghan Lamb) from Bloomington, Indiana. Tinyfolk began an awkward, flightless phoenix that unmajestically emerged from the ashes of Russ’s Newburgh, Indiana-based lo-fi project A Pilgrimage to Save This Human Race and gradually learned to do things like tie its own shoes and use Apple’s Garageband.
Originally, Tinyfolk featured just Russ on soprano ukulele and vocals, then he eventually began using baritone ukulele and Meghan began singing along and playing accompaniment glockenspiel sometimes (when he begged her enough). Classical guitar came next, and in 2008, Russ recorded Sic Semper Equis, an almost entirely electronic album, and a similarly electronic EP/split with Brother Bird, Steel Magnolias, came shortly after, followed by Catfood Shotgun Goddamn.
Russ claims great creative indebtedness to his friends Super Famicom and Redbear. and especially to Meghan, whose solo project, iron like nylon, he claims to be greatly influenced by.
Since April 27, 2008

ah tinyfolk, my friend cate sent me a link to your myspace after she told me you were from bloomington ( i'm from bedford, indiana ). i like your music, tell me what you think of mine when i have some up.
a y2k album in 2008? it's actually too brilliant for words, really.
seriously, tinyfolk will fuck you up, in a good way.
Tinyfolk is so lovely, cute and kind, and I'm a brand new fan but now that I'm on tinyfolk, there seems to be no end in sight, which is thankfully matched by the nice, long albums released list. I cannot wait to indulge myself, slowly, over time. HOORAY
Thanks! I really like your music too. i've only listened to sic semper equis so far though. but it's brilliant! let me know if you're ever in or around texas.
the forum is down!!!!! :(

thanks for the vote.
that's probably my favorite track too. i think i might have also put it on another album without realizing it...
Dear Tinyfolk,
Thank you for your music, especially a bunch of the stuff off Platapeasawallaland and Little Mice. I have no memory of how I found your music like a year ago, but I did. And it makes me happy when I listen to it. Or sad, depending on the song (Desperation, especially). But in a good way. Anyway, I just figured I'd say thank you by signing up for this account and typing this. Have a fun time writing songs and being a person.
P.S. Love is a Thing is an absolutely incredible song. Good work.
I never thought of Tinyfolk as freak folk...hmm maybe when Russ has a beard.
I FEEL BAD THAT I DONT GET TINYFOLK. THE FREAK FOLK SCENE IS SOOOOO NOT MY THING. I TRIED THOUGH, I REALLY DID. I AT LEAST ADMIRE YOU FOR THE NUMBER OF RECORDS YOUVE PUT OUT - jw
