Get Out Saturday: Saturna @ the Comet

We don't know the first thing about NW indie band Saturna [MySpace], really, we just wanted to get out Saturday night.

We've listened to a few mp3s online and have discovered that Staten Island is now in Ryan Carroll, Steve Anderson, and Eric Block's thrall:

"Some Delicious Enemy" starts with a giant, My Bloody Valentine-like juggernaut, "Roll Down," featuring sweeps of electronic noises, a muscular bassline and catchy refrain from singer Ryan Carroll, who sings in a floaty doubled vocal, "This time I'm alive, on my way, a thousand miles away." And the band keeps it big throughout the disc, with chugging drums and atmospheric sounds sandwiching catchy rock and vocals in between.

Plus, the blog Bring Me Up says "it would be criminal to overlook this band. The song getting most of the glory in the blog world is "Pop Rocks," but I'd have to say my favorite track is "Roll Down." I think you will find the entire album is full of possible favorites." At the Comet, they're playing with The High Violets, Romance, and Levator. See you there.
