Deep beautiful angel voices , go through the lines of the blood ,up to heart and make brain feeling sad of memories.

Safe Home's debut full-length is a treat of next-generation melancholia, a strange'n'spooky postrock-indie-folk drama built on acoustic guitars, subtle electronic widgery, and featuring the distinctive smooth whisper of Esther Sprikkelman. Sprikkelman's lyrics are largely inpenetrable, but perhaps that's just as well - it must be odd in Esther's world. Although many of the songs seem to concern themselves with wistful reminiscin', there's also a forward-looking stoic optimism, like it'll all work out in the end... as long as Jupiter's aligning with Mars and the coffee's percolatin'. Musically, the deceptively simple songs actually conceal unexpected twists'n'turns that'll keep you guessing well into the night and through to the following morning. Safe Home is perhaps not in-yer-face enough for today's attention-span-deficient indiepopper but could well appeal to those hankering after a fix of Nick Drake, The Incredible String Band, or the Nico of "Chelsea Girl". Rewarding listening. Recommended listening.
