If you read this blog regularly then you sort of know my feelings on post rock, but the number of bands who actually do a good job at making post rock listenable is slowly growing. You can add to this list LA instrumentalists, Beware of Safety. They sort of take a Los Angeles take on post rock which means there is some god guitar work scattered throughout their songs and it's almost as if they were a metal band w/o a singer.
Following up to their acclaimed debut EP, It Is Curtains, Beware Of Safety unleash their debut album, dogs. As ambitious as it is visceral, as dynamic as it is subtle and as frightening as it is comforting, dogs shows how Beware Of Safety have discovered a sound steeped in psychedelia and speculative exposition.
From the towering "The Supposed Common" [recently featured in Jonathan Dillon's critically acclaimed film Fight Night] to the driving, distorted "Circa," Beware Of Safety's power lie in their keen ability to crescendo and decrescendo at just the right moments. Powerful, epic and beautiful as Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Pelican & Red Sparowes, Beware Of Safety are instrumental rock's new torch bearers.
