Foxyboy Records brings you a brand new release:
Artist: THE SATURDAY PEOPLE
Title: S/T
Catalog Number: FOXY 007
Label: Foxyboy Records
Format: CD (7 track CD)
Contact: info@foxyboy.biz, www.foxyboy.biz
Following on the heels of their well-received debut album on the Slumberland
label, Washington D.C.-based indiepop standard bearers THE SATURDAY PEOPLE
are back with a smashing 7-track mini-album released by new underground force
Foxyboy Records.
Listeners who connected with the debuts colorful pairing of 60s pop melodies
think early Beatles, Byrds, Zombies, Kinks with the insouciant jangle of 80s
treasures such as Postcard-era Orange Juice and Aztec Camera and early
Creation-label combos The Loft and Jasmine Minks will find much to love on
the new seven-tracker, even as it incorporates new-found subtleties and an
increasingly nuanced approach to arrangements and overall sonic texture.
The Saturday People lineage is almost comical in its circuitous route through
the annals of 1990s indiepop. The band Terry Banks (vocals/guitar), Greg
Pavlovcak (vocals/guitar), Archie Moore (bass/vocals), Ara Hacopian
(keyboards) and Dan Searing (drums) includes former (and current) members of
Velocity Girl, Tree Fort
Angst, The Ropers, Glo-Worm, Boyracer, Black Tambourine, Lu, St. Christopher,
Lilys, The Castaway Stones, The Still, Heartworms and Whorl to um name just a
few.
But a litany of indiepop band names no matter how special they may be to
appreciators of the genre is not what makes the new Saturday People mini-LP
notable, as any real pop fan call tell you
What matters is melody, energy, intelligence and songs that go in one ear
and then, pleasingly, stay there and make themselves at home. Warhol said
pop should be disposable. The Saturday People respectfully disagree.
