Stuporhero - Weightless



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. Go check it out but be warned: you may find this sweet little pop confection quite addictive.
