Little Grandad announce UK tour and Scala show alongside debut album

London band Little Grandad will release their debut album, Speak Softly, Son, on January 22nd.

The much-tipped band have spent this year playing shows across the country, including a run of headline dates in their home city. Their singles so far have sketched out a sound that’s refined and gilded in tone, while still carrying the scuzzy energy of Brixton Windmill shows.

Speak Softly, Son was recorded with producer Kev Jones of Wunderhorse in Crouch End, London. Ahead of the album, the band are playing a full UK tour this month, including a show at London’s Scala on September 16th.

New single ‘Tiny Feet’, a gorgeous, affecting guitar pop hymn, is out now, accompanied by a video directed by Xander Lewis.
