The band started as a solo project of G DeGroot in 2017 shortly after they had begun learning guitar and writing songs. Jon Cox joined the project later that year on accompanying guitar, and the two began circling the Philadelphia DIY scene as an acoustic duo. In 2019 Sadurn released two EPs through local label Dead Definition, one entitled “Gleam” and the other a split with the band Ther. In 2020, the duo expanded, with DeGroot's friend Amelia Swain joining as drummer as well as Tabitha Ahnert as bassist. The album was released on May 6, 2022. The band has been dubbed "The Best of What's Next" by
Paste. In 2024, Sadurn contributed the song "How Can I Get Out" to
the soundtrack for the film
I Saw the TV Glow. Director
Jane Schoenbrun said of the band: " whenever I'm out in New York in hip music circles, all of the queer, trans, non-binary people with good taste will just be like, 'You've got Sadurn?' in the way others will talk to me to me about
Phoebe Bridgers [who is also featured on the soundtrack]." The band tours live, performing on bills with artists like
Greg Freeman,
Horse Jumper of Love,
Babehoven,
Tiberius, and
Sleeper's Bell, as well as live session for
Audiotree in 2022, and a set at
All Things Go Music Festival 2025. ==Discography==
