Saturn Never Sleeps formed in 2009 for improvisational performances dedicated to jazz giant <a href="spotify:artist:0tIODqvzGUoEaK26rK4pvX">Sun Ra</a>. A collaboration between Afro-futurist Philadelphians <a href="spotify:artist:3dLfgaGJjjkkF1OUNiEput">King Britt</a> (production) and Rucyl Mills (vocals, electronics; formerly of <a href="spotify:artist:5cTKg5ZNkGNiMEeerVI3Xy">the Goats</a>), Saturn Never Sleeps rapidly developed over the course of the following two years. They established the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22SNS%22">SNS</a> label, played festivals around the globe, and refined their sound -- a mix of left-of-center R&B with experimental electronic music. The first <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22SNS%22">SNS</a> release was credited to Ramon Tejada, a <a href="spotify:artist:3dLfgaGJjjkkF1OUNiEput">Britt</a>/Mills pseudonym that yielded an EP of bristly instrumentals (Sand Can’t Tell Time), which would have been at home on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mille+Plateaux%22">Mille Plateaux</a> or <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Plug+Research%22">Plug Research</a> labels. A series of EP-length samplers and other short-form releases, some of which featured other artists, followed, while Saturn Never Sleeps worked their way up to an album, Yesterday’s Machine, released in August 2011 as a free download. 10" vinyl and CD versions followed. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
