Led by songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (His Name Is Alive, Flashpapr, Lovesick, City Center), Saturday Looks Good To Me's Polyvinyl debut is nothing short of classic.

Named one of Pitchfork's Top 50 albums of 2003, All Your Summer Songs brings to mind:

• the lo-fi yet jam-packed production styles of Phil Spector, Joe Meek, and Motown's Berry Gordy.

• the dense arrangements of Brian Wilson, Left Banke, Love, early Rolling Stones and '60's girl groups

• the impressions all of the above made on contemporary pop artists like Belle & Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields.

Throughout All Your Summer Songs, specifically placed string sections, horns, bells and strange percussion sounds reflect off warm soul rhythms to create electrifying pop songs that overflow with claustrophobic melodies and an unmistakable AM radio vibe.

A huge cast of friends and musicians lent their talents to the making of this album, including guests like Ted Leo, Tara Jane O'Neil, Jessica Bailiff, as well as members of Ida, Secret Stars, His Name Is Alive and others.
