Mediterranean alt-rockers The smallest Creature unveil glimpse into inner battle between reminiscence and the future in gritty new single ‘Queen’
Cyprus-based rock outfit, The smallest Creature returns with a fuzz-soaked grunge number that delves into the menacing grip of devotion, longing, and nostalgia in their latest single ‘Queen’.

The track is accompanied by a lyric video that portrays the turmoil with visions of queens and hearts morphing from one to the other.
