Stutter Steps at Without My Echo
Unarguably the most exciting new band in my ears these last few weeks. I’ve been obsessing over this song in a way that’s untypical even for me (and I’m known for putting songs on repeat). Stutter Steps’ self-titled debut is out today via Wild Kindness Records. Do yourself a favour and enjoy this warm, melodious… Continue reading Stutter Steps at Without My Echo

Stutter Steps at Did Not Chart
This album is gloriously crisp and sweetly melodic. It’s got Big Star’s jangling desperation (every last song), Quasi’s quirky keyboard stylings (Backyard Charm), and country-rock melancholy (Go On). Stutter Steps jangle incessantly with, you know, proper guitar solos right through this album like only The Bats can do. They trade in neat psychedelic tricks (Jeff… Continue reading Stutter Steps at Did Not Chart

The self-titled record is one of the few records that came across my desk this year that just didn’t fit in with the normal fare…in a good way. On this new track,… Continue reading Stutter Steps at Austin Town Hall
Stutter Steps at Big Takeover

Stutter Steps at Innocent Words
Everything around us is chaos, panic, and impending disaster. But Ben Harrison is keeping it cool. The debut self-titled album from his band, Stutter Steps doesn’t spit in the face of death—it gives death a warm hug and invites it inside for a game of Scrabble. Ten songs of sadness and bliss, Stutter Steps is… Continue reading Stutter Steps at Innocent Words
