CD Review: Safe, So Simple – “Too Close To Closure”
Remember Easycore? Remember duel vocal blitzes? Well Safe,
So Simple does and on their new EP Too
Close To Closure, they're bringing it back - bringing it all back with one
press of the way back button. Too Close
To Closure is a fun-as-hell sonic wall of ferocious guitar frenzies, frenetic
melodies and bipolar vocals (“Within Reach” brings back all the feels of For Those Who Have Heart-era A Day To Remember,
the duel vocal attack of “Teeth Like Sharks” is a reminder of just how killer
multiple vocalists can be, pop punk permeates and gang vocals abound on the
memorable (and awesomely titled) “Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try”). And really
any album that samples iconic film Tommy
Boy can't be all bad (as the band brilliantly does on the succinctly pissed
and tightly weaved myriad of metalcore euphoria that is “Welp, Better Luck Next
Year.”). Too Close To Closure is
short and sweet; a record that leaves an indelible mark on listeners long after
its completion.
