Saloon- New CD on Track & Field. Difficult not to say Stereolab but then I'm typing it. Sounds like Stereolab but with a twist of indie lemon and thankfully not a jazz lemon. A grower like thrush but without all the unpleasant side effects. This Is What We Call Progress is qualityThe debut Saloon LP "(This is) What We Call Progress" was recorded in Reading and mixed in New York City by Andrew Prinz from Mahogany. Needless to say, it's a masterpiece taking the top spot in John Peel's 2002 Festive Fifty.
The LP builds upon the sounds honed and nurtured by the band in their live shows and highlights their passion for studio perfection. Tracks like "Make It Soft" and "Bicycle Thieves" show a more fragile side to the band and add to the diversity of the record when placed along side the more immediate pop soundscapes of "Plastic Surgery" and the live favourite "Girls are the New Boys".
