About Saturday sun

"Gentle acoustics and luscious melodies" - Q Track of the Day "Where do Saturday Sun songs go? It's a question that's formed with awe. The way the group orchestrates and bends those minutes, it feels no longer than a blink. It was barely here and still it was memorable. It was delicate and it was demanding. It seemed as if it had been made through inner-turmoil that couldn't help itself, but tospill out onto the streets. It took over the way we suddenly felt" - Daytrotter In April, Saturday Sun released their debut 'Seagull EP' of four tracks on Lazy Butterfly Records, aided by iTunes placing it on their homepage as a recommended record. The title track won a coveted Q Track of the Day and a place on the soundtrack of forthcoming film House on the End of the Street. In addition the band were promptly invited to record sessions for Daytrotter, Crypt and Watch, Listen, Tell - the latter receiving over 11,000 hits in 1 week. Saturday Sun hail from Dorset and make music that is at once "delicate and demanding" - Dayrotter. It washes over you subtly like the tide slowly creeping in or the warmth of the sun on your back. Yet there's twists and turns, a building sense of urgency, a raw edge in each song. And a sense of power, weaved into the vocals - sometimes angelic in their falsetto, at times a gravelly near-roar of emotion. Their name, taken from the Nick Drake song, will wield comparisons, but Saturday Sun's mix of folk, rock and psychedelia lays more with John Martyn or the early work of Pink Floyd. Saturday Sun create a sound that is as mesmerising and intricate plugged-in as it is stripped back and acoustic. It's a sound that hints of americana, folk, rock, blues, even grunge influences all melted into a sound that is pure Saturday Sun. Saturday sun came early one morning In a sky so clear and blue Saturday sun came without warning So no-one knew what to do. Saturday sun brought people and faces That didn't seem much in their day But when I remember those people and places They were really too good in their way. In their way In their way Saturday sun won't come and see me today. Think about stories with reason and rhyme Circling through your brain. And think about people in their season and time Returning again and again And again And again And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain. So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun And wept for a day gone by.
