“Saturday” is a prelude to our full-length album release “Cosmic Comics,” (full album release on 1/29/2020) and kicks the journey off with astral grooves, lyrical hooks, and a cosmic soundscape to float away on. Written by Derek Engstrom, produced by Keegan Matthews, “Saturday” embodies the evolution of the band’s sound since their 2019 release “Deux,” a double-single, and introduces added layers of strings, horns, and percussion to the original soul of the core quintet.
