Saturday Looks Good To Me - Green Mansions (Vinyl Rip) (2007)

This little gem, released as a 2007 tour only LP, demonstrates the noisier side of everyone's favorite Ypsilanti, Michigan pop band Saturday Looks Good to Me. "Green Mansions" is a far cry from their most recent full lenght "Every Night," lacking the hooks, sensibilities, and motown stylings; instead relying heavily on guitar, tape loops and Fred Thomas' long melodic (almost) moans. As a whole "Green Mansions" is a very great, but very stylistic and experimental album. Standout tracks inlude the opener "Glowering Gaze (Every Other)" and track 7, "Leave it Alone" which sounds like it could have came directly from the recording sessions of Thomas' most recent solo album "Sink Like a Symphony." Other tracks like "(Yelling)" and "(Spelling)" are much less accessible, but die hard SLGTM fans and those more adept and familiar with experimental music will certainly like it.
