Little Cinema

Safety

Out Now

 

Little Cinema is written on guitars in bedrooms in Brooklyn and California, and recorded by a cast of Austin’s best and brightest. It’s inspired by the albums you hunted madly for and then guarded like a rare gift. Still, for all that, it’s pretty fun.

Little Cinema’s first album, Adventure, was released on October 14, 2014. Its second album, Safety, came out on November 5, 2021.

From "Je ne sais pas," a chorus that was written 10 years ago, but didn't get words until last spring. It's like Bukowski said, you gotta stick with your best.
