Ooooohhhh. The new Safetyword EP is out and from my first few listens it’s giving me the tingles 🙂 Foreskin O’ the Heart is typical of the ‘word: odd & intricate, wonderful & delicate, tight & taught. OK, OK, I’ll stop with the word pairings — rubber & chicken (sorry, couldn’t help that one ;)) — but I always find it hard to describe music, especially something as unique as Safetyword. It’s kind of like eating strange things such as queenies, frogs’ legs, or witchitty grubs: you’re somewhat put-off by the appearance at first, but then realise they’re an acquired taste and actually shockingly tasty; after a while you can’t get enough 🙂
We love Safetyword, not (only) ’cause they friends and we’ve released some of their stuff, but because they’re amazing musicians who’re stunning talented and deserve to do really well. Go and buy their EP now, you honestly won’t regret it.
