About Me

Saturna rises from the rainy haze of the Pacific Northwest, soaking in narcotic pop, racing with a super-charged engine, harnessing astral energy for a seductive sonic fix.

Buy Saturna's debut full length "Some Delicious Enemy" here:

Amazon | CDbaby | MTV
Influences: Love and Rockets, Ride, Doves, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Stone Roses, Built to Spill, My Bloody Valentine, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Dandy Warhols, The Warlocks, Blur, Catherine Wheel, Lush, Helio Sequence, Swervedriver, Sloan, Ladytron, Autolux, Broken Social Scene, Sonic Youth
Sounds Like: The Spacelab calls 'All Night' accomplished and well worth the wait . . . The balance of lush harmonies, ambient interludes, straight up rockers and subtle washes and waves of guitar noise is just right, reflecting an uncanny musical intelligence and discipline . . . understated, dissonant coils of space guitar effects and reverb laden vocal harmonies that would make Robin Guthrie and Elizabeth Fraser proud. If Ride and Slowdive got together to make a record it would sound something pleasantly like this.Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Type of Label: None
