"Saturnhead perform infectiously melodic bedroom pop of a remarkably high standard
across a 43 track album...it never stumbles once, hitting a genuine peak on no less than seven numbers..."
"Those lamenting Robert Pollard's flip of the switch to stadium rock will
revel in Saturnhead's simple lo-fi pop/rock. Don't spend your summer days at home...
instead, take Introducing...Arizona's Thin Mistake out to the park
and crank the title track as well as 'Suburban Girl', 'A Fast Airship Gazebo', and
'Daze like these'"
"Introducing...boasts a hooks per second ratio that even Bob Pollard (Guided by Voices) couldn't
match in his prime...he effortlessly mixes clap along guitar riffs, juicy
harmonies, and Ringo-worthy backbeats into instant classics..."
"it (Saturnhead) sounds great. Saturnhead is Vancouver resident Terry Miles,
and Introducing...Arizona's Thin Mistake is ample proof that the man
knows exactly what he's doing. Numbers like 'Stop the Wedding' or 'The only one'
flaunting their gooey, doe-eyed melodics like new dinner jackets, are
caviar for any discriminating lo-fi pop gourmet..."
"Saturnhead's Introducing...Arizona's Thin Mistake never strays from the
ulta-catchy. The space-age mutant pop gives the nod to Sloan then turns
around in whiplash fashion toward Guided by Voices. Sounds a lot like
paradise"
"Introducing...is a tasty collection of truly interesting pop songs
, full of hooky goodness!"
"Edited as these songs are in a continuous stream of teasingly brief
melodies and themes, they are transformed instead into a kind of
lo-fi audio verite travelogue compiled by a talent who is teeming with
ideas...watch this guy!"
"He's a whiz with a four track and the necessary rock instruments, and he knows
where to look for super-catchy hooks and obscurely compelling lyrics."
"Amazing! Saturnhead not only captures the idea and some of the sound from
Abbey Road (give em' lots of short songs, various pop styles and don't let
up in between), but the spirit. Terry Miles handles vocals, piano, drums
and guitars in perfect pop splendor. Highly recommended!"
