Taking an improvised guitar line as its core Saturday Morning like all 13aXs’ tracks sits precariously balanced between a liminal conscious space and an alternative dreamlike world with both exuding humanity and understanding.

This duality is emphasised by the complimentary playing styles of Simon and Gavin. Simons melodic top notes adding a foil to Gavin’s more rootsy core. The uncompromising addition of the Moog adds to the layering and at points takes the listener on a deep dive into disquieting aspects of the bands psyche - waking up with dulcet turns around the kit by guest collaborator James Count, the tune is calmly walked up to its conclusion by James’ steady hand and some soulful playing.  

Subtle in its evolution, the seams of melody and rhythm deliver an uncomplicated and rational topography that is both captivating and unsettling.

Saturday Morning is 13aXs second release for the Irregular Patterns label and available as a digital release (incl video) via Bandcamp (with delayed release for all other streaming sites).

Saturday Morning

Superb Remix from Sam Judd of the 13aX track Saturday Morning released via the Irregular Patterns Label. Sam's brought lush beats and world flavours that edge the track into a sublime dreamlike like groove. It conjures up the rising Sun and a warm sea lapping at your bare feet. Top job
