Kim Gordon playing Cookie Monster."—NME

Brooklyn NY’s TINY MASTERS OF TODAY, release their brand new album,
Skeletons, on 15th June 2009.
Featuring the latest single Pop Chart, which coolly dissects the pop
chart with a bubblepunk catchy refrain, Skeletons, the follow up to
2007’s Bang Bang Boom Cake.
Almost overnight, siblings Ada (13) and Ivan (15) went from a few
homemade recordings on a MySpace page to collaborating with Karen O
and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kimya Dawson, Fred Schneider
(B-52s) and Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), being remixed by CSS and
Liars, and touring the world. David Bowie even lauded their first
homemade single as "Genius." Not bad for a band that double as full-
time students in the NY school system.
With new album, Skeletons, the Tiny Masters went it totally alone,
producing and writing the entire album themselves. The tracks were
largely recorded at their home in Brooklyn, using the computer program
Garageband. They brought the songs to Seaside Lounge studio with
engineer Patrick McCarthy and drummer Jackson Pollis for additional
recording and the final product was mixed by Matt Stein at U.W.M.S.C.
in New York.
More experimental than 2007’s debut, Skeletons is a frighteningly
accomplished record that sees Ivan and Ada incorporating elements of,
and feeding off the energy from, not just punk and grunge, garage and
indie, but also electronica and hip hop, dub and disco.
