Tiny Ruins ‘Some Were Meant For Sea’ at Loons

To celebrate ‘Some Were Meant for Sea’s 10th birthday, a small number of exclusive shows will take place in the country’s main centres, mirroring the first tour that Hollie Fullbrook undertook solo in 2011. Visiting intimate venues in Christchurch, Dunedin, Auckland and Wellington, Fullbrook will play the album in its entirety, with stories and background to the songs along the way.

With an eclectic raft of influences, the musical world of Hollie Fullbrook and band spans delicate folk, lustrous dream pop and ebullient psychedelia. Born in Bristol and raised in West Auckland, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Fullbrook’s debut LP ‘Some Were Meant for Sea’ (2011) features her alone, and was quickly celebrated by radio playlists and blogs worldwide. The album’s clutch of “gorgeous vignettes” (BBC) put the artist on the map, and she took to the road from her home in New Zealand to tour extensively overseas.

Fullbrook wrote the songs for ‘Some Were Meant for Sea’ during the previous three years while flatting and studying in Wellington, with many of the songs inspired by the capital city.

A special repressing of ‘Some Were Meant for Sea’ is now available for pre-order. Complete with unreleased bonus track ‘The Oldest Bar in Town’, and on 12″ sea-green translucent vinyl, release and delivery are scheduled for September 24th.
