Ultra Q have released one final single from their upcoming debut album.

With My Guardian Angel arriving in full this Friday, June 9, via Royal Mountain Records, the quartet have offered up one final preview with the glorious Saturday.

“This song was a total accident,” explains frontman Jakob Armstrong. “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 three 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.”
