Tiny Animals, a trio born out of Katonah, New York, is set to release their second album, “Our Own Time,” on April 5, 2011. A potpourri of pop, punk, and playfulness, Tiny Animals utilize interche and sweetly blend the vocals of Chris Howerton (lead vocals/guitar), Rita Maye (drums/vocals), and Anton Kreisl (bass/vocals). Peppy “Fight or Flight” launches the album’s varying dynamics and emotions. The record rides through the harmonious and tense, “A Long Journey,” spritely single “Wait For Me,” melodic and romantic “We Can Read the Stars,” rock ballad, “The Moment,” and the ethereal closer, “Love Scene.” While Tiny Animals inch toward “Our Own Time’s” debut, the trio is bringing their punchy pop to Pianos on February 19. http://www.tinyanimals.net –Meijin Bruttomesso
