Saturday 11.10.07: SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME (Early show)

Saturday Looks Good To Me

Saturday Looks Good To Me || Listen

Finally the array of comparisons critics have made regarding this band is to be found in its entirety on the same release. The moody crescendos and meanderings of Fred Thomas’ voice cut slices of Stephin Merritt; the shimmying guitars on “Money in the Afterlife” suggest the dance-rock quirks and pop romances of Vampire Weekend, BOAT, and the Brunettes. These great discrepancies of mood and genre slant are welcome as standalone pieces and contributions to the band’s already hodgepodge oeuvre. So as a collection, the album is fitful and pleasantly disconcerting, a far cry even from July’s Cold Colors EP, which was a wintry aperitif to this full-length’s sweet, sultry, and dimly sentimental refreshments. – Pitchfork
