She EP

The Saturn IV

(SELF-RELEASED)



Y'know, life is full of pleasant surprises. When I picked up this disc from the LEO offices, I thought, "Cool. They're called The Saturn IV. Maybe I can hack my way into a reference to 'In the Shadow of the Moon' or some shit."

Then, as I perused the artwork on the way back to the office, I noticed they released this EP under a Creative Commons license. Bonus points! Then I got back to work and — HOLY CRAP! — this thing rocks. Vocals that call up early Counting Crows (not necessarily bad), the music riffs off everything from Pavement to Uncle Tupelo to Marcy Playground (all without sounding derivative). These guys are pretty good. I especially like "Sheep," with its weirdo synth and off-time handclaps. Gotta love those handclaps.

This EP is perfect for reliving 1994 through the lens of your current life. From the looks of 'em, these guys weren't far past diapers in '94. Can't wait to see how this band evolves. —J. Brian Hall

Hey everyone,

We've recently encountered a few discs with a left channel that goes out during "Get Together".
If you own a disc like this, please email us at thesaturniv@gmail.com and we'll email you a replacement mp3 for the song. This also applies to any other problem you may find.

Thanks!
