Getting to Know Saturn Saturn Saturn also know as Ben Capper...
The release of The Void is preceded by a lead single 'Don’t Ever Change', a love song to a home town and also features four more songs written and recorded from Autumn 2021 onwards. The Void EP explores our troubled and divided culture taking influences from the likes of indie and punk rock legends Teenage Fanclub, My Bloody Valentine, Built to Spill, Spoon, The Besnard Lakes, Mogwai, Sugar / Bob Mould, Pavement and Fugazi.
From social media shock jocks, to populist governments; our time is blighted by people seemingly going to extraordinary lengths to make people’s lives harder and worse. The Void calls out those people whose divisive rhetoric seems to them like a brave new way of communicating, but is in fact just the same old fascistic nonsense we thought we’d rejected as a society, a generation ago: “There’s a void at the heart of your thinking. Nothing new: your poisonous dream.” (The Void)
At times melancholic, the EP pleads with people to get back to understanding that, whatever our differences, “there’s such a thing as intrinsic human worth” (Getting By); and laments how people we have once cherished have been sucked into and radicalized by online ideological rabbit holes: “It makes me sad to see what’s happened to you, on your search for something true” (A Place to Belong).
As is Saturn Saturn Saturn’s way, there is a glimmer of hope amid the chaos, based on an inherent hope in humanity to overcome its divisions and the collective traumas of our age: “In my heart I know, when you feel so low, you’ve got to breath, so you know.” (Breathe)

The Review... Saturn Saturn Saturn's EP The Void
I'll be reviewing two tracks that I like the most off this EP, then follow up with a conclusion. So, lets get started.
The first track that I'll be reviewing is, "The Void". The Void starts out with warmly picked electric guitar that leads to the rhythm guitar playing bright chords introducing Ben Capper singing, "Where It Starts, The Freedom of Thinking..." is a pleasant voice. What stood out in this track for me is Ben keeps singing about how things never change. He is so right about that. Take some time out and look around you environment and think to yourself is it the place that changes or is it you, or do we really ever change at all? Really, Really good track. This is a track that makes you think. Plus, Saturn Saturn Saturn sound is incredible.
The second track I'm reviewing is, "A Place To Belong". This track also starts out with warmly picked electric guitar accompanied by drums and bass that sets the mood of this track. The sound is incredible, like notes floating in the air. Ben Capper begins to sing, "Find your way, I bet its somewhere safe.." later he sings, " You'll Find Us Waiting, With Open Arms, You'll find a place to belong..." Now, I don't know about you but, seems to me that's what every one at least once or twice in their lives is looking for..."A Place To Belong". This has to be my favorite song on Saturn Saturn Saturn's EP The Void. I absolutely love the message of this song. A message we all can relate to because in a way we all are looking for a place to belong with all the diversity's of these social media groups now a days. Kinda makes it hard to know where you really belong.
In conclusion, Saturn Saturn Saturn's EP The Void is absolutely incredible. with the warm rich sounding guitars, incredible bass and drum lines that are simply outstanding and well played. Ben Capper has a very inviting voice and the topics of their track you can relate to. This is an all around outstanding EP that everyone should take the time out and just listen to it. A see how much of what Ben is tell you that you can relate to.
