Songs for the Small Places is the debut album by Giant Killers and the second full length album to be released by Little Genius Music. This widely critically acclaimed album came out on January 26th 2024.

The indie-pop band are song writing duo Jamie Wortley (guitar, keys, lead vocals) and Michael Brown (bass, keys, brass, vocals). They were signed to MCA Records in 1995 where they released two singles. However, the album never saw the light of day. After a momentous 3 decades long struggle the band got their rights back and their songs have finally been getting a chance to shine with Little Genius.

At least a quarter of all proceeds from every sale through Bandcamp will go to the suicide prevention charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably.
