Helmed by Middleton's Thomas Wincek, All Tiny Creatures is a quiet but important part of the Wisconsin music scene. The band spins in the musical orbit of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and is influenced by indie and progressive rock. Their debut EP from 2010 was fully instrumental, and remnants of that expansive and experimental style can still be found on recent tracks, including "Comets" from their most recent LP, 2013's Dark Clock. Newer songs include Wincek's light, soaring vocals, rounding out the sound and making for compelling music.
