Pitchfork

It was a nippy late February afternoon here at P4K HQ when we first sounded the warning for Saturday Looks Good to Me's Fill Up the Room, and it'll likely be a cold one again October 23 when we trek down to the record shop to gaze longingly at the K Records-issued disc.

Though it's coming quite a few weeks after it was initally intended, it's still eleven songs in length, still running in the order we previously published, and still full of some halcyon harmonies and seraphic songcraft. UK residents, meanwhile, get theirs November 12.

Having recently wrapped up a brief string of dates with new labelmates the Blow, Saturday Looks Good to Me will step out on their own beginning this weekend. According to a MySpace blog entry, both Chicago shows-- the first 21+, the second all ages-- that kick off this tour will be recorded for release later this year as a double LP live set. Not only that, but the band's asking diehards for input as to which songs fans would like to hear at the gigs (psst, do "Alcohol", guys!). Bigmouths and control freaks who haven't already done so can head over to the band's MySpace and insist away.
