All Are Saved
''All Are Saved'' is an LP by the American indie rock artist Fred Thomas. It was released on April 7, 2015, on Polyvinyl Records in the USA. Formats were vinyl LP, CD, cassette, digital download and streaming services. While it was Thomas's eighth solo LP, it was the first to have been released on a larger scale record label and, as such, gained much more press attention than his previous CD-R and minor label releases had done to that point. Musical style Whilst ''All Are Saved'' retained some of the troubadour style of Thomas's earlier solo records, it also incorporated styles more characteristic of a number of his previous musical projects, including indiepop band Saturday Looks Good to Me and the post-rock duo City Center.

Saturday Looks Good to Me is an American experimental indie pop band that formed in 1999. The group is led by singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (former member of His Name Is Alive). Albums by the group are known for soundscapes which hearken back to Detroit soul. The band was originally conceived as a basement recording project and did not play any live shows until 2002. The band built up a considerable following on the back of numerous limited-edition 7" record and CD-R releases, resulting in the indie pop albums ''All Your Summer Songs'', released in 2003 on Polyvinyl Records, and '' Every Night'', released in 2004 on Polyvinyl. ''All Your Summer Songs'' was listed as one of the top 50 albums of 2003 by Pitchfork.

By 2007, Barnes had semi-left the band and Thomas took over as the band's sole front person. SLGT ...
