Seattle Powerpop Blog: "Stuporhero’s lovely new album Weightless consists of nine charming, skillfully arranged, concise little pop songs featuring acoustic guitar, piano, synth generated strings and horns, handclaps, kazoo, and male/female vocal counterpoint. There’s less than 20 minutes of music in total but it’s mostly compelling (the final track is a bit of a throw-away since it plays backwards, although it does have a nice ambiance consistent with the overall feel of the record) ranging in mood from giddy to melancholic to pensive to dreamy and it holds together well like a modest, scaled down Pet Sounds or In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. This also reminds me of the softer side of The Vaselines and should appeal to fans of twee and indie-pop.
The whole album is available as a free download at stuporheromusic.com. Go check it out but be warned: you may find this sweet little pop confection quite addictive." |

Tastes Like Chicken: "Give this band some of your attention."
West Coast Performer: "Poised to bridge the pop/punk gap, the dynamic duo and mannequin sidekick revitalize experimental indie with a much needed — and perhaps overdue — twist." Seattle Sound: "Well-practiced and well-versed in the art of fuzz and wit..." NPR: "With songs about super balls, death robots, and the dubiously anthematic 'Punk Like You', Stuporhero's latest album, Last Star Shining, is perfect driving music… if you're driving the Batmobile." All Music Guide: "The Seattle duo (and their mannequin drummer) return with another slew of stupor-pendous songs on Last Star Shining, the pair's sophomore set. Across sixteen tracks and a hidden number, Jen Garrett and Will Troy's breezy, iridescent, not quite lo-fi, music shines bright." Seattle Sound: "Meet Stuporhero-a husband, a wife who kept her maiden name, and a mannequin known as Chuckles-the newst self-declared "fuzz-pop" band in town. Stuporhero's debut full-length of accessible pop covers everything from bookworms to zombies...will summon those who want to listen to enjoyable songs that clock in under three minutes." Three Immaginary Girls: "...striking indie-rock that causes the listener to feel they have been sucked back to a really awesome summer day in 1994 when you could smoke some bad weed and ride around in your friend's Geo Metro listening to a cool tape of a band you had seen the night before that nobody else had ever heard of and feel without guilt like you had accomplished your bit for the day." |
