Watch Toronto Psych Band Pretty Perform from the Vault
A long time ago in a bank vault far far away, Pretty performed a beautiful rendition of their track Worry and we filmed the entire thing.
Well today we have unleashed it upon the world.
When Pretty came to visit, they recorded two tracks, the first of which we released in July (check that here if you've not seen it already).
In between then and now, the group put out a brand new EP, Citrus Magic. It's four incredible tracks so check that out and join Pretty's universe.
We've got loads of exciting stuff coming before the end of the year including singles, music videos, albums (on wax) and live sessions... so watch this space!

It's Pretty Cool When a Psychedelic Five-Piece Rocks a Bank Vault
And just like that, a new record is set as five-piece Toronto psychedelic band, Pretty, join us for an intimate session in the Safe Sounds bank vault. Boom!
This one will tastily melt in your mouth like the death of a rich relative you barely even knew.
For a space just over 6ft x 6ft, we were a little apprehensive about fitting so many musicians in our walk-in safe, but the result speaks for itself... Inheritance is a lush psychedelic track performed here with folk instrumentation and tones that glue together cohesively. Thank hell for that!
Pretty is Torin Craig, Eliot Rossi, Will Macquarrie, Brian Heyes and Morgan Zych.
The band has made quite a name for themselves with a string of high quality, high impact releases. Their normal rock approach takes side-stage for this session as they replace the familiar electric instrumentation for acoustic and steel string guitars, bass, percussion and even an accordion.
Folking hell, it's pretty cool.
Check out the video now and visit the SS YouTube channel to subscribe and be notified with each new video. This isn't the only thing we've got coming from Pretty, plus they've also got a hot new EP which is due to drop July 28th 2023.
So mark your calendars, scrawl across your walls and dream about the future. It's pretty.
Idious Carrie Teams Up With RUM DO In New Music Video
The new music video for RUM DO's electronic pop single, Riv Alla Murar, is out now! Watch it above or on our YouTube channel.
Riv Alla Murar features guest vocals from Idious Carrie, AKA Desiree Das Gupta of Toronto psychedelic rock band Kali Horse.
The music video features RUM DO's classic combination of real-life footage, shaped and merged with digital visuals. Join them now to be taken on a transportive psychedelic trip and see if you can spot wild Indian elephants!
Speaking of the new single and music video, Bill Cutbill said -
"Never has a RUM DO track been so 50/50; it's almost two tracks in one."
"We begin by establishing a digital landscape with spiky textures which Idious Carrie's vocals flow softly over. The tension ramps up and up before it all falls out of the sky. After that, a janky classical guitar line takes hold."
"I'm very proud of the video, which comprises processed footage from my recent trip to India. As always a very special thank you to Idious Carrie for her contribution to the RUM DO legacy. I hope you enjoy!"
Riv Alla Murar is taken from RUM DO's third and final EP, You Just Have To Be. Stream it now or pick up a limited edition cassette via bandcamp.
That's What I Get
Another new video premiere today, and it's a banger from Toronto indie-pop darling, Deanna Petcoff.
Yes! Just in case you missed our last Deanna track, we released an intimate version of Cher's 'Believe' earlier this year which is available everywhere including streaming.
Well this new video was recorded in the same session, live from our Toronto bank-vault location. Safe Sounds is based in a disused bank, which houses a real-life vault. It is within that space that we create and capture these special sound moments.
'That's What I Get' is a Deanna Petcoff original, performed with her usual poise and class. It has been stuck in our head ever since she filmed it; whether we're cleaning our teeth, waking up from a nap or just trying to make dinner, the catchy chorus keeps flowing across our brainwaves.
We'd wish it away, if it wasn't such a good feeling to have it in there. Watch That's What I Get now.
