"There’s something calming about the beachfront waves of electrical indie coming in from SAFIA. The heartbeat of their sound is a layered pastiche of warm noise that reverberates and loops with an ever-increasing sense of ambition, but the soundscape they grow is more than that. Each track is dusted with a tinkering of sorrow and sadness that, like musical chimes, seems at the whim of movement, tossed about and taking new directions at varying velocities of intensity. Each listen seems to reveal something different – an unfamiliar lyric, a drop in sound you hadn’t heard before, a beat you didn’t see coming – and that shows that more than simply Garage Band throwaways from the Mac era, SAFIA have become fine craftsman in their field." - Martin Fleming (Lasers Go Pew)

Since forming in mid 2012 SAFIA have supported The Presets, The Aston Shuffle, Peking Duk, Clubfeet, Cat Call, Elizabeth Rose and Owl Eyes, including appearances at festivals including the 2012 Foreshore Summer Music Festival and Groovin' The Moo.

rating:  4/5
SAFIA, this is big growth. Your previous two are crazy good but this has something in it to make it desirable. I want to hear it a whole bunch.
