Canadian folk musician and record producer Jake Nicoll started working on a concept album, Saturn Returns, six years ago. It is loosely based on the astrological idea of entering adulthood at the age of 30. Vague as that may be - to put it mildly - it got him thinking about where he wanted to go next, both emotionally and musically. He used to rely on his guitar as his main instrument, but he went head first into the world of synthesizers, inspired by underground disco and Pet Shop Boys melodies.
Melancholy and a sense of impending doom have found their way into his lyrics, but he also dares to dream that things will take a turn for the better - maybe because he became a father recently and it would be nice if the kid has a future.
Saturn Returns is released via Tiny Room Records (vinyl, digital).
