About Us

Departure, stagnation, hope and anxiety – these are the topics that indie-rock band Small Strides deals with while uniting elements of alternative rock, electro, pop, and emo in their music. Death Cab for Cutie's stylistic bandwidth, Coldplay's hymnic relatability, as well as Radiohead's love for experimentation are forming important cornerstones of Small Strides' sound. Even in their live shows, they take it a step further and realize their vision with live-looping as well as their very own samples and synthesizers. With every song, they rediscover new facets of themselves, constantly facing the decision of where to go next.

With "The Ground Beneath Our Feet", Small Strides present a debut album that represents a sound cosmos of its own in the band's history. Self-produced, it marks a transition into a new era, characterised by the expansion of their sound to include elements of ambient, post-rock and progressive and consistently building on the strengths of their EP "Crossings". Lyrically, they focus on the conflicts we face between one another, how we deal with isolation and the desperate clinging to failed relationships. Yet there is also room for the positive, such as finding one's way to oneself or finding support in unsettling times.

For Small Strides, "The Ground Beneath Our Feet" is an important milestone on their journey, which could lead in any direction.
