We are pleased to announce that Saturna song Periwinkle is featured during the closing credits in the upcoming film The Pact. The film will open during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it has been selected to screen during their Midnight Series.
Entertainment Weekly says, “This is a more classic horror film, working on tension. It’s not about gore or violence. It’s a ghost story, and really well done.”
The Pact was written and directed by Nicholas McCarthy and stars Caity Lotz (Death Valley, Mad Men), Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers, Sleepy Hollow), and Agnes Bruckner (Blood and Chocolate, Murder By Numbers).

Thanks to Marke Lassig in Germany on his blog Schall Grenzen for including Saturna in such great company when reviewing the new Darker My Love record. He said, “Bands like the Stooges, BRMC, Dandy Warhols, Lower Heaven, transport Calla, Saturna and similar cohorts quite been able to give me a permanent grin.”

Saturna is excited that Straight Magazine reports that one of their hero’s, Bob Mould named them as one of his recent favorite bands and ask them to open for him on his upcoming tour.
Easily Fooled, a blog from San Francisco reviewed the show that Saturna opened for Bob Mould at The Great American Music Hall saying, “Saturna opened the show, and they sounded really good, both poppy and rock–and I don’t mean emo! Their guitarist, especially, produced some wonderful tones. One song took me right back to Killing Joke, the Chameleons, Echo and the Bunnymen and that guitar sound I love so much. Another, with its huge wall of heavy but melodic guitar, may not have existed at all were it not for likes of Bob and other musical pioneers. They paid the obligatory homage to Bob, but I get the feeling that they really meant it.”

Check out the new review of Saturna’s Some Delicious Enemy in Twangville. Todd says, “Hints of BRMC, The Tender Idols and Primal Scream abound on Saturna’s new album Some Delicious Enemy. Lush guitars, delay and feedback mixed with pulsing drums make the Portland, Oregon band a great find for fans of Brit-Pop.”
Thanks to Indie Dance Floor for including an mp3 of Saturna’s Pop Rocks along with amazing songs from Goldfrapp, Nick Cave, The Long Blondes, Cut Copy and tons more.
