REISSUE. Saxon Shore formed in the winter of 2001 by Matthew Doty (guitar, piano) and Joshua Tillman (drums) in upstate New York. Be A Bright Blue's austere simplicity and minimal, melodic accessibility was a departure from the majority of instrumental acts by utilizing pop music conventions such as repetition, hooks, and western dynamics, while offering room for solidarity, free interpretations, and thematic independence. Be A Bright Blue was born out of late night inspiration, a lust for melody, and most likely a subconscious childhood fixation with progressive rock. Four tracks from Be A Bright Blue were featured on the 2004 season of MTV's The Real World: Philadelphia, but fans were unable to get those songs since the album was unavailable. It is now re-released in 2005 on Philadelphia's Burnt Toast Vinyl. Digipak
