(This is) What We Call Progress

Saloon are a five-piece pop band from Reading, England. Eveyone says they're "the perfect Darla band." Their music is the traditional sound of guitars, strings and softly sung vocals meeting electronic beeps and whistles of Moogs, stylophones and Theremins head on. (This Is) What We Call Progress is record of profound beauty sounding akin to early Stereolab, very early early New Order and Mahogany. It was recorded in Leeds and mixed by Andrew Mahogany in New York at Simultaneous Workshop. "A blinder... throbbing guitar riffs, menacing violins via John Cale and stabbing moog symphonies build up to a captivating unit that takes a delicious hold of your senses." --NME
