flutterer is a boston based shoegaze/ambient artist, inspired by artists like Glixen, My Bloody Valentine, HUM, and Have A Nice Life. flutterer uses guitar effects and pedals to their advantage to create dreamy soundscapes and ambient music that is often interrupted by walls of sound and fuzz that you will feel in your bones. Not only does flutterer use these impactful instrumentals to push forth their creativity, but also their lyrics which tend to tell stories that may be invisible until you really listen closely.
