Saturday Looks Good To Me

The Detroit group Saturday Looks Good To Me’s only constant member; songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas has worked with over 75 different talented folks on the bands' recorded output and live shows over the years. And the stories behind the songs involve years of pop music history, an endless appreciation of punk culture and ethics, and attic rooms stuffed with boxes of unlabeled 4 track tapes. Perhaps the point is that nothing matters but the waves in the air when you hear your new favorite song for the first time, and Saturday Looks Good To Me is only interested in making your new favorite songs.

Picking up where 2003's critically acclaimed four-track masterpiece All Your Summer Songs left off, the 2004 sophomore release Every Night finds the band both expanding on previous styles and evolving into something brand new. The carefree '60's pop vibe that has run through the band's entire catalog is still prevalent, but you'll also detect a new undercurrent somewhere between poetry and desperation. The songwriting, production techniques, and musical performances have been honed in and pushed beyond all previous efforts, culminating in Saturday Looks Good To Me's most lyrically astute, flawlessly arranged and fully-realized work to date.
