Genre: Post-Rock, Ambient
Seven Saturdays is the project of Jonathan D. Haskell. A side-project at first, but on that eventually mirrored and extended Haskell’s primary, Rhodes-and-drums outfit (FIRS) so organically that they were fused into the ambient and cinematic chassis presented here, both in the brief but poetically provocative clip for “Shallow End,” and the affixed pair of MP3s. Think DNTEL, think Album Leaf, think AIR — this is music for thinking, or for dissipating early-day CMJ hangovers, or for artistically edited naked time in the bathroom. Fittingly intimate images for “Shallow End”’s bared and vulnerable transitional swells. – Stereogum
