Circuit Faker – “Saturn” [Song Review]
With its softly sentimental, reflective mood, Circuit Faker’s “Saturn” is at once spare and sumptuous, forging a mellow, delicious familiarity.
Minneapolis-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer Circuit Faker, aka Taylor Nelson, recently released his new track, “Saturn,” the second single from his upcoming debut album, CIRCUMVOLVE.
Following the album’s first single, the dynamic “Ocular Therapy,” “Saturn” functions as a sonic palette cleanser, with its downtempo, almost chill feel of soft rolling chords and a pulsating bassline.
Circuit Faker explains, “‘Saturn,’ to me, is the feeling of laying on your back as clouds roll overhead and letting your mind wander for a minute.”
Stylistically lush, Circuit Faker’s sound pulls from various electronic genres, including elements of electronica, house, and alternative dance, merged into layers of immersive, euphoria-inducing music.

“Saturn” opens on smoldering tones flowing into a crisp, clacking, mid-tempo rhythm that’s both laid-back and hypnotic. A darker, burbling synth line juxtaposed against a gossamer, gliding topline. Together, the two structures shape a throbbing melody conveying bouquets of heartfelt nostalgia. The dreamy sensation is picked up and mirrored by the distant echoing timbres of the vocals.
With its softly sentimental, reflective mood, “Saturn” is at once spare and sumptuous, forging a mellow, delicious familiarity.
