Little Grandad drops debut album Speak Softly Son and single Tiny Feet
The sound of close-knit harmonies and shared storytelling is about to capture the airwaves. London-based duo Little Grandad have officially announced their debut album, Speak Softly, Son, alongside the release of their harmonic new single, Tiny Feet.
The forthcoming full-length record is slated for release on January 22, 2027, offering fans a year of anticipation for the sounds of the band. The single Tiny Feet immediately hooks listeners with the group’s sweet vocal blend, starting with gentle, hushed guitar before building into captivating intensity. The track also features a video directed by Xander Lewis, adding another layer to the visual experience.
At the heart of Little Grandad is the unique dynamic between the two brothers, Jack Lower and Harry Lower. Their musical journey began when they started sharing ideas after both moved back into their family home following university, fostering what they describe as their own blood harmonies.
Their songwriting is deeply influenced by literary giants, drawing inspiration from the lyrical depth of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Neil Young. This influence shapes their approach, focusing less on elaborate guitar work and more on crafting narratives—telling a complete story through their music.
When discussing their artistic path, Jack Lower revealed a deliberate choice to skip an EP and go straight for the album, stating that they wanted to focus entirely on the grand vision of the full record. This commitment reflects their ultimate ambition: to achieve the kind of enduring musical presence they aim for.
Little Grandad is now gearing up for an exciting run of UK headline shows, kicking off in Bristol and winding down in London. Their upcoming tour dates stretch across September, October, and November of 2026, providing a chance for fans to experience their sound live across the country.
The band’s ultimate goal is inspired by the enduring legacy of legendary acts, aiming for a kind of Bob Dylan Never Ending Tour vibe. As Jack Lower put it, the aim is for the music to be so compelling that listeners will continue to sing along, regardless of their own ability to sing the words themselves. It is a pursuit of connection and lasting musical impact.
