- Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter, the guys behind Mister Saturday Night, talk a lot about community. They see their intimate events in Brooklyn as a place for interesting and open-minded people to come together, and they greatly value the results of these connections, which range from new friendships to newborn babies (as they explain in their RA Exchange). Somewhere in the middle of this is the music on their label, all of which (with the exception of their next 12-inch, from Dark Sky) has come from young artists who hang out at their parties: first Anthony Naples, then Archie Pelago, and now Alex Burkat.
Burkat supposedly sent Harkin and Carter the title track from Shower Scene one morning after he got home from Mister Saturday Night. The song definitely lends itself to that kind of moment: driven by cinematic strings and a marching rhythm, it has the momentous feeling of an epiphany ("Arcade Fire house" as one RA staffer dubbed it). Harkin and Carter remix the track, trimming it down into something more refined and understated. Both versions are excellent, and more than make up for "Ammadomyownthing," a party tune that ends up sounding bland by comparison.
