NewDad | Safe (Released 2nd May 2025)
NewDad | Safe
Format: 10” Black recycled Vinyl in a printed matte disco bag with sticker.
‘Safe’ is precisely what fans would want from their band: their core shoegaze/dream-pop sound elevated with a new self-confidence, a tight, masterly control of hooks, and broader touch points such as Pavement and Sonic Youth. In short: their ethereal elements feel more alluring than ever; the visceral moments are more selective and dynamic but hit just as hard; and their songs are simply a leap in sophistication beyond ‘Madra’.
Its first single, ‘Entertainer’, encapsulates their growth. Julie’s vocal glides like a conversation with an imaginary friend, while every touch - her slacker rock cadence, distorted stabs of guitars, foreboding synth flourishes and drums which flow from spacious to savage - embeds itself in your mind and refuses to let go. “The song is about entertaining other people’s idea of who you should be,” explains Julie. “I’m only learning now that I just need to shut out the noise and do what makes me feel comfortable.”
