CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description "They've modernized the concept of retrospective pop with creativity, intelligence and the sweetness and heartbreak of a summer fling." - IndieWorkshop.com Detroit's Saturday Looks Good to Me combines modern lo-fi indie rock with a broad acceptance of pop music history grounded in a traditional Motown aesthetic. The only constant member, multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas, has reached out to over 75 talented contributors in the band's six years of existence, often working with a different group of musicians on every release. While releasing three full-lengths, SLGTM created 11 EPs, 7"s and tour CDs - all limited, sold-out and highly sought after by fans. Sound on Sound collects these, presenting 30 songs recorded from the band's inception in 2000 through its most recent sessions. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA great big mishmash, but with some shining moments Christopher Culver | 07/31/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "I first discovered Fred Thomas' project Saturday Looks Good To Me through their 2003 album ALL YOUR SUMMER SONGS. SLGTM's blend of modern lyrics with music and production that often looks back to 1960s proved very charming, especially for this fan of Warren Defever's own retro works with His Name Is Alive in the mid-1990s (Fred Thomas may be seen as a Defever protege). The next SLGTM album I got the opportunity to hear was SOUND ON SOUND from 2006.
Instead of finely crafting an album from a handful of choice cuts, Thomas has decided here to serve a great big goulash of songs, a whole 30 of them. SOUND ON SOUND in fact collects a variety of singles, CDR tracks, EPs and other unavailable recordings. There are massive jumps in style and performers from one track to the next, and subsequently in quality as well. Some of SOUND ON SOUND is very memorable. The opener "Can't Even Sleep" has Thomas meditating on a romance breakup followed by a bender and difficulties relating to friends, a situation I haven't found myself in much since my early 20s, but nonetheless the bold production and the catchy melodies make it irresistible. "Untitled" is a wash of piano and strings heavily treated in the studio, where towards the end fragments of "All Our Summer Songs" can be heard before it cuts off abruptly; if you are looking for more music in the vein of His Name Is Alive's "Early Works" collection, you'll love this. Even the lesser material here still has a certain charm. "Learn to Live With Your Heartbreaks" has pathetic, repetitive and out of tune vocals, but it goes on for almost four minutes, an eternity on this collection of 1-2 minute ditties, but perhaps Thomas is intentionally playing with us. "Love Will Find You" is great art naïve, while the instrumental "Pet Store" is a throwaway, but still gives us a glimpse of the instrumental talents in this mainly vocal-based project." |
