Little Grandad have announced their debut album, ‘Speak Softly, Son’, and shared the harmonic new single ‘Tiny Feet’ – check it out below.
The London band will release their first full-length record on January 22, 2027, and fans can pre-order/pre-save their copy here.
The album has been produced by Kev Jones of Wunderhorse, and was recorded in Crouch End, London, during rare breaks from the band’s busy touring schedule.
New single ‘Tiny Feet’ shows off the group’s sweet, close-knit vocal harmonies, and opens with gentle, hushed guitar before growing in intensity.
The song’s video was directed by Xander Lewis, and you can check it out here:
‘Speak Softly, Son’ arrives little more than a year after Little Grandad played their first show at The Windmill in Brixton last summer.
The band are led by brothers Jack Lower (bass/vocals) and Harry Lower (guitar/vocals), who began sharing musical ideas after they both moved back into their family home after university.
They went on to develop what they call their “blood harmonies”, with the group drawing inspiration from songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young.
Speaking to NME in July, Jack revealed that the band had decided against releasing an EP before their first album. “We were like, we’re gonna skip the EP – let’s go for the album,” he said.
Discussing the band’s approach to songwriting, Jack added: “I think there is just a wider movement towards songs again. It’s like, we wanna tell you a story through this song, and that’s gonna be done with guitars.

Little Grandad have told NME that their ultimate ambition is to follow the “Bob Dylan Never Ending Tour vibe”.
“You don’t stop; people still wanna sing the songs with you when you can barely sing them yourself,” Jack said. “That is the ultimate aim. There is no other way.”
