Saturday Looks Good to Me Ready New Album

Polyvinyl Records' darlings and critical faves Saturday Looks Good to Me have announced plans to break from a relatively quiet summer to play 20 dates with ex-Olivia Tremor Control co-frontman Bill Doss' psych-pop project The Sunshine Fix. The occasion for the tour is the pending September 14th release of Every Night, the group's fifth full-length (second for Polyvinyl), and the follow-up to the four-track feat that was last year's All Your Summer Songs. In the relatively short period between releases, SLGTM frontman Fred Thomas' knack for classic pop production and arrangement has increasingly led to his reputation as a sort of Midwestern bedroom George Martin. With Every Night, fans can apparently expect an even more focused, fully realized slab of neo-60s dreaminess featuring bigger production and even more finely tuned songcraft. Tracklist:

01 Since You Stole My Heart
02 Until the World Stops Spinning
03 Keep Walking
04 All Over Town
05 The Girl's Distracted
06 If You Ask
07 Empty Room
08 When the Party Ends
09 Dialtone
10 We Can't Work It Out
11 Lift Me Up
12 When You Got to New York
