Saturday Looks Good to Me is a Detroit pop band in every sense of the phrase. Led by songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (once or present member of HIS NAME IS ALIVE, FLASHPAPR, LOVESICK, etc.), SLGTM's songs bring to mind the lo-fi yet jam-packed production styles of Phil Spector, Joe Meek, and Motown's Berry Gordy, the dense arrangements of Brian Wilson, Left Banke, Love, early Rolling Stones, and '60s girl groups. Specifically placed string sections, horns, bells, and strange perc   [ read more ]

Finally available on CD! Saturday Looks Good To Me appeared out of nowhere about a year ago, and has been hovering around inspiring a lucky few and getting ready to amaze the world and become everyone's favorite band. The relative mystery and elusion of the group has been aided by the fact that their records so far have been pressed in ridiculously small quantities, selling out immediately and leaving their sonic journey to be made via mix tapes, word of mouth, and a handful of breathtaking Detroit area s   [ read more ]

Their sophomore Polyvinyl full-length. Michigan's own greasy haired heartthrob, Fred Thomas, is the indie rock generation's answer to the masterfully crafted sound walls and legendary arrangements of Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, and George Martin. The '60s pop vibe that runs through the band's catalog is still prevalent, but there's also a new undercurrent flowing between poetry and desperation. This is their most lyrically astute, flawlessly arranged, and fully-realized work to date. Note: the LP version co   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Their fourth studio album marks their first for K Records and a dramatic progression from their 60s-tinged retro-pop sound to a more textured, experimental and colorful breed of pop music. Renowned for their production and arrangement, SLGTM meshes soaring string sections, harpsichords, and interstellar fuzz guitar with found samples and ghostly wordless vocal melodies.

VINYL FORMAT. Fans have become accustomed to the band's ever-changing line-ups, live show sound experiments, and mutations. Cold Colors follows this line of development and may surprise fans of the older material. These five songs have moved almost completely away from the Phil Spector-esque girl group sound, and instead offer up structure-free fragments of songs, extended tape loop disintegrations, and dubbed out drum jams that move in and out of complete noise meltdowns. Their most challenging and    [ read more ]

Saturday Looks Good To Me is pure pop magic from Michigan. Since the group accidentally materialized out of a broken four-track left on in the basement back at the turn of the century, they've been shifting and stuttering through dreamed-out dance floors and reverb-soaked mini-symphonies, developing into one of the most interesting and critically admired bands in the independent music world. Led by songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas, a rotating cast of over 75 talented backing musici   [ read more ]

Having relocated to Portland, the band has returned with a new EP that paves the way for their forthcoming full-length later this fall. Cold Colors is a toned-down affair from previous recordings. The five exclusive songs are primarily acoustic and ambient and more in line with Animal Collective than the boy/girl Spector-inspired wall of sound that SLGTM is known for.
