Me at the Museum, You in the Wintergardens

Tiny Ruins , Music Video – 2014

from the album Brightly Painted One (2014)

'Me at the Museum, You in the Wintergardens' is the opening track of Tiny Ruins' sophomore album Brightly Painted One (2014). When the album was released in New Zealand, frontwoman and principal songwriter Hollie Fullbrook was on tour in Europe, opening for Neil Finn and playing cello in his band. Finn directed and edited this understated music video, using footage he'd shot of Fullbrook on the tour. Brightly Painted One was critically acclaimed; it won Best Alternative Album at the 2014 New Zealand Music Awards, alongside numerous other accolades.

We decorated the small room we recorded in with patterned blankets, old velvet cushions, paintings and meaningful objects. Quite a few of the vocal takes were recorded in the dark, or with just a little lamp on. It had a magical atmosphere.
