Title: Not Entirely Sure I Want to Be This Safe
Review: The music on In A Safe Place is beautiful, but unlike the best of Sigur Ros -- the most obvious parallel -- there is no challenge here, nothing to shake you or stir you. That's fine, I guess, but take a cut like The Outer Banks. The real Outer Banks are not only beautiful and seducing, but also angry, terrifying and a graveyard for ships. It would have been nice to see some of that part of the place worked into the music.In a Safe Place probably works best if you have cuts from it in a shuffle playlist to take in small doses, interspersed with other types of music. Fifty-one solid minutes of ambience, though I enjoyed every cut, collectively was a bit much for me.On the other hand, if I were sitting in the dentist's chair awaiting a root canal, Safe Place would be just the thing...
