The Underground Stage
Show Notes “Even above the fuzzy and glorious songs, which veer from shoegazey intensity to off-kilter Pavement-ish fun, Stressless find the joy in the grind, shine bright lights into grey days, and deliver enough smile to light up the whole damn city.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Stressless’ lo-fi jangle is as sweet as ever on their latest, slotting neatly in-between Strokes-y thrum and Wedding Present-y crackle. Trebly guitars flit around in between blasts of shimmery shoegaze, while the woozy vocals float through the gaps, like smoke. A lovely, noisy dream.
“Stressless have been playing shows for about a year but they have denied us any recorded output (or indeed any internet presence at all) until now. The debut release, like the live set, shimmers and crackles, Malkmus-meets-Mascis fuzz and wonk. If it’s another year’s wait for the next one, there may be cross words.” Learn […]
“Great to catch the (still!) un-internet-able Stressless again. All the jangle and slack you’d ever need, where delicate clever songs flirt with the possibility that it’ll all collapse in a giggling heap at any second.”
“Stressless are (I think) debuting tonight, but this ain’t no-one’s first time, this is polished out of the gate and instantly adorable from note one. The guitars ring like bloody bells, and the joy seeps into your pores. This is a delight of a set.”
