Little Glitches are a folktronica collective from Sheffield, UK. The group formed in 2004 after collaborating and writing together in previous bands. The founding members of the collective are Andrew Bolam (bass guitar), Gavin Harris (drums), Iain Stewart (acoustic guitars), and Sam Smith (Rhodes piano). All four members share vocal duties and they have been noted for their strong four part harmonies and song writing in numerous newspaper and magazine articles; such as Sandman magazine, Dazed & Confused magazine and the Sheffield Telegraph. Since 2010 the band has begun taking a more collective based approach to their music making, working independently and jointly with other local musicians. During 2012 several new demo tracks appeared on their website blog and there are rumours of new releases in 2013.
In 2004, the band released their first eponymously titled EP through small independent label Irrepressible Records, all entirely self written, recorded and produced. The CD release featured original cover art by Sam Wilson, who was to go on to provide pictures and designs for all their subsequent releases. The EP gained a warm review in Dazed & Confused magazine, in their Releases of the Month section.
In 2005, the band performed in a film by Newcastle-based artists Susie Green and Ilana Mitchell entitled The Set Up, which featured a number of North East bands, seven artists including Field Music, Futureheads, Les Cox Sportifs and Paul Smith.
On 4 September 2006, the band released their second cd ep, Sudden Moment of Clarity on the small independent record label Full on Calm Recordings. Again a self written and recorded effort, this time the band received some production help from Steve Fellows. The EP was released on CD and also as a digital download via AWAL and featured a re-recording of one track from the first EP, Secondhandmind.
