Following on the heels of their well-received debut album on theSlumberland label, Washington D.C.-based indiepop standard bearers THESATURDAY PEOPLE are back with a smashing 7-track mini-album released bynew underground force Foxyboy Records.Listeners who connected with the debut's colorful pairing of 60s popmelodies - think early Beatles, Byrds, Zombies, Kinks - with theinsouciant jangle of 80s treasures such as Postcard-era Orange Juiceand Aztec Camera and early Creation-label combos The Loft and JasmineMinks will find much to love on the new seven-tracker, even as itincorporates new-found subtleties and an increasingly nuanced approachto arrangements and overall sonic texture.The Saturday People lineage is almost comical in its circuitous routethrough the annals of 1990s indiepop. The band - Terry Banks(vocals/guitar), Greg Pavlovcak (vocals/guitar), Archie Moore(bass/vocals), Ara Hacopian (keyboards) and Dan Searing (drums) -includes former (and current) members of Velocity Girl, Tree FortAngst, The Ropers, Glo-Worm, Boyracer, Black Tambourine, Lu, St.Christopher, Lilys, The Castaway Stones, The Still, Heartworms andWhorl to... um... name just a few.But a litany of indiepop band names - no matter how special they may beto appreciators of the genre - is not what makes the new SaturdayPeople mini-LP notable, as any real pop fan call tell you...What matters is melody, energy, intelligence and songs (remember them?)that go in one ear - and then, pleasingly, stay there and makethemselves at home. Warhol said pop should be disposable. TheSaturday People respectfully disagree.
