Ultra Q have shared the final single ahead of their debut album, ‘My Guardian Angel’, which drops this Friday.
‘Saturday’ follows a number of brilliant previous singles, including pop-punk tracks ‘Kelpto’ and ‘VR Sex’, as well as ‘I Wanna Lose’, ‘I Watched Them Go’ and the emo-tinged ‘Rocket’.
It also comes with a visual that’s as trippy as some of the other videos accompanying the previous singles. Have a watch and a listen to the track below.
Describing how ‘Saturday’ derived from a happy accident, Ultra Q frontman Jakob Armstrong – the youngest son of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong – has said:
“This song was a total accident. I had already started working on what would become various tracks for the album, but up to that point my recording ability was limited to electronic drums. I really wanted to learn how to do simple drum recordings for my demos, so I set up a little 3 microphone kit.
“Bass drum, snare, and overhead. I made a blank session and just played a drum beat on loop so I could mess with my settings.
“I thought the beat was interesting so I started adding some deep and epic synths to the track , (similar to Plainsong by The Cure). My next thought was to yell some new order lyrics and then Saturday was born. And yes, I wrote the song on a Saturday.”
