Indie-pop band Saturnine formed in New York in 1994 when singer/guitarist Matt Gallaway and bassist Mike Donofrio met while studying law. After enlisting drummer Jim Harwood and guitarist Jennifer Baron, the group issued their debut EP Autoglider; their full-length debut Wreck at Pillar Point followed in 1995. Flags for Unknown Territiories appeared a year later, and in 1998 Saturnine returned with Mid the Green Fields. Upon completing 1999's American Kestrel, Baron left the line-up. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
