**The Tiny** is a [Swedish band](/source/Music_of_Sweden) consisting of pianist and vocalist Ellekari Larsson, cellist Leo Svensson, and [double bassist](/source/Double_bass) Johan Berthling (sometimes replaced by Patric Thorman or Torbjörn Zetterberg in live shows). Larsson's DetErMine Records distributes the band's albums in Sweden, while they are signed to [Eyeball Records](/source/Eyeball_Records) in the United States. The Tiny's first album, *Close Enough*, was released in Spring 2004 in Sweden, and a year later in the United States. Their second album, *Starring: Someone Like You*, was released in March 2006.

The group's hauntingly [minimalistic](/source/Minimalist_music) music demonstrates [classical](/source/Classical_music), [gothic](/source/Goth_subculture), and other influences. Larsson's characteristically childlike singing voice is frequently prone to melodic yowling and warbling, and has drawn comparisons to [Björk](/source/Bj%C3%B6rk), [Kate Bush](/source/Kate_Bush) and [Joanna Newsom](/source/Joanna_Newsom). The band gained popularity in 2012 after their song "Closer" was featured in an episode of the podcast [Welcome to Night Vale](/source/Welcome_to_Night_Vale). In 2020, the band made a return with a new single, "Dog Eat Dog".
