I'm sure I speak for everyone here at PV (and probably everyone out there in the world too) when I say that we couldn't be more excited about the new Saturday Looks Good To Me album, One Kiss Ends It All, coming out today! This is the band's first full-length album since 2007's Fill Up The Room, and it's got everything you know and love from the band + a few new twists and turns.
The album is available on teal vinyl, CD, and white cassette through our E-store. Or you can grab it from iTunes / Amazon or stream it on Spotify / Rdio. Take a listen to the album's single "Invisible Friend" below. You can also hear the ENTIRE album over on Paste MagazineRIGHT HERE.
The album has already received praise from all over the blogosphere. Check out a few of our favs.
"..this Motown-stomping, horn-embellished confection is the type of listen that can lead to another." SPIN
"For over a decade now, Fred Thomas has mined the aesthetic of 1960s girl groups and Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, but each new release the band puts out feels fresh rather than formulaic." Pitchfork
"..although it’s been four years since SLGTM’s last release, the band didn’t spend all that time lamenting each and every creative decision. Instead, they allowed the twelve tracks to take shape spontaneously." Paste MagazineHide More
