I Stumble As The Crow Flies is the first EP by the American punk band Reptile House. It was released in November 1985 through Dischord Records with the catalog number DIS 15.75 01. Drummer London May has likened the sound of the EP to the San Francisco punk/noise rock band Flipper, due to its mid-tempo rhythms and, noisy, jam-session sound. All songs were composed by Reptile House, with vocalist Daniel V. Strasser (later known as Daniel Higgs) writing the lyrics.
