  • "By melding the familiar warmth of classic influences with fresh, inventive touches, Archer Stevens sets themselves apart as a band that honors tradition while fearlessly pushing the envelope. With Pretty Ugly, Archer Stevens not only introduces themselves to the world but also makes a compelling case for why they're a band to watch. Their ability to craft a sound that's both timeless and innovative ensures that this release will resonate far beyond its November debut. As the countdown to Pretty Ugly begins, one thing is clear: Archer Stevens is here to redefine rock for a new generation.”

  • “Outstanding production, incredible sounding mix. Excellent tonal balance and clarity, as well as use of stereo width and space. Strong ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ vibes and song structure. Love the intro; great use of filtering there, awesome staging and build-up. Tremendous groove, fantastic piano riff. Terrific bass line, great kinetic energy and motion. The Latin percussion adds a ton of rhythmic character and color. Nice overdriven guitar tone as well. The breakdown/bridge at 2:48 works really well to create an interesting dynamic shape and provides wonderful variety…”

Layers of organ melodies interlace with the soundscape, elevating the folk-rock allure of the song. The singer unleashes cool, light-hearted melodies onto the sound, which dance alongside you. A stunning crescendo takes your spirit to new heights, its elation and exuberance irresistible. As joyful and light as the sound feels, there is also an intricate intensity to the instrumentation and imagination, which displays Archer Stevens' musicall prowess..."
