LABEL: SISTER JACK
Inspired by Orwell’s vision of an authoritarian state, Find A Place To Be Safe sees CUTE create a momentum building marriage of atmospheric and thunderous guitars. Ambience, distortion and reverb flow upstream together in ‘Tranquility’, breaking only for a welcomed string interlude. ‘Decay’ and ‘Intelligence’ begin with light lashings of nocturnal keyboards but gather screaming guitars and even elements of trance along the way. With such sonic and multi-faceted instrumental music becoming increasingly prevalent, creating a location in the mind is key. Here we have 11 mini-movies that, despite their epic credentials, remain controlled and focused as songs while welcomingly indulging the mind’s eye of the listener. It’s a compelling journey that succeeds in finding beauty in such dark visions.
8/10
DOWNLOAD: ‘TRANQUILITY’, ‘FIND A PLACE TO BE SAFE’, ‘INTELLIGENCE’.
FOR FANS OF: GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR, MOGWAI, GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT.
