Album Notes

stepsonday, brothers Jason and Chad Turner's debut LP "little light" is a charming record of perfect pop and rock songs that evoke the more cohesive moments of fellow left coasters Pavement ("High 5"), the sumptuous guitar rock of Nada Surf ("Boy and His Balloon") and the boyish charm of Death Cab For Cutie ("1234"). Produced by Nick Rucker (Yellowcard, Plain White-T's, Rock Kills Kid)

"The duo, which consists of brother Jason and Chad Turner, write great little melodic pop songs. Originally, I thought the music was easily comparable to that of groups like the Shins or Of Montreal. However, after listening to the debut Little Light in its entirety, I'm not entirely convinced that they should be lumped with their over the top indie-pop counterparts" - Come Pick Me Up

"Understated and slightly sludgy, Stepsonday’s two members venture into the land of rock music that smacks of the best college rock from the 90s. The record has a hint of pop that’s completely compelling, but the guitars are perfectly produced for those of us who appreciate a bit of messiness to our riffs. That’s not to say that the album is a mess, but it has that perfect disheveled quality of broken up
distortion (a la Pavement and Nada Surf) bouncing under sweet,unforced vocals. The melodies are the kinds of melodies that you don’t realize are irresistible until you walk away from the album and find yourself humming them in the checkout at the local grocery. And then there’s the drummer, straying at well-placed intervals from
the standard 4/4 kick, snare, kick, snare, and into perfectly rhythmic territories that keep the songs bubbling through their keenly poppy choruses. It’s a really pleasant, and slightly nostalgic, rock record." - CD BABY
