Saboteur By Gardening, Not Architecture

Gardening, Not Architecture is the product of one very persistent and talented veteran of the scene, Sarah Saturday. Her latest album, “Saboteur,” came out in November and is filled with soft rock-electric indie bliss. The first time I saw Sarah live I was completely captivated and convinced. At times “Saboteur” reminds me of early Tegan and Sara meets progressive Uh Huh Her. Overall, the finished product is close to perfect.

As if the release of “Saboteur” wasn’t enough, Miss Saturday has released a fun, experimental project that she calls “The Florida Sessions.” She spent two weeks alone in Florida and began recording demos, posting them to her site. “It’s my shorter-term and less-intense version of Bon Iver’s stint in a northern Wisconsin cabin that produced For Emma, Forever Ago”, says Sarah. You can find “The Florida Sessions” at her soundcloud- http://soundcloud.com/sarahsaturday as well as www.gardeningnotarchitecture.com. Join the mailing list so you can receive updates and all kinds of tunes!

Sarah Saturday is a driving force in our music scene. She remains so true and genuine to not only herself but to her listeners. She has been an inspiration to myself and a model for so many others on following your dreams and sometimes just throwing ambition to the wind! Pick up “Saboteur” on Itunes and check out “The Florida Sessions” today!

If I Had A Boat (Live) by James Vincent McMorrow

Hailing from Ireland comes folk pop singer songwriter, James Vincent McMorrow.  He released his first album, “Early In The Morning,” in 2010.  He wrote the entire thing while secluded in a beach house.  He has been compared to the likes of Bon Iver and Ray LaMontagne.  He is soulful and adorable, eat it up hipsters.
