WHOLE is an AudioVisual Experience from RUM DO
Happy New Year!
2024 is here and we've got a bunch of content on the way for you, starting today.
Back in 2017 the debut EP from RUM DO, lay down, lovers [SS101] was our very first release here at Safe Sounds. The avant-garde pop duo released their third EP last year, You Just Have To Be.
WHOLE is a brand new video featuring the entire RUM DO discography with uncut visuals. It's perfect for ambient watching and listening... stick it on and let your mind wander across diverse landscapes, open your eyes for rushing colours and abstractions.
Ever since the start of the project, RUM DO's music has been released with abstract video. The final frame of one track always linked to the first frame of the next.
Finally WHOLE can now be experienced as it was always intended. The run time is 1 hour and 6 minutes.
I guess in some ways it's odd to mark the start of the new year with the death of a project. Harry Perry and Bill Cutbill will now focus on new musical ventures. After all, time is not infinite.
It feels fitting and romantic to wave goodbye to RUM DO in this moment. It's just the point from A to B.
With that, we place our feet firmly on the ground and start walking forward.
RUM DO ~ "an adjective meaning 'odd' or 'strange', and nothing to do with the drink rum."

You Use It Like A Weapon
As another year closes in...
We are pleased to present Weapon, a live session filmed inside the bank vault here at Safe Sounds.
The track is taken from Breeze's latest record, Sour Grapes. You'll find Josh Korody front and centre of the band, surrounded by Robyn Phillips, Julia Wittmann, Braeden Craig and James Kearns.
The time and date the video was filmed is forever etched into the grainy CCTV camera footage you'll see within. It really was a joy watching Breeze perform these tracks up-close and personal, and we're stoked with how they turned out and what we were able to capture. A fragment in time.
You can enjoy a full playlist of all our live sessions here.
If you like what we do, please consider subscribing on YouTube and then systematically go through our entire video discography, liking and commenting on every single video we ever released. It really is the least you can do. After that, we suggest you write to your local MP to ask why American bands get a relative free pass to tour Canada, but Canadians have to pay a small fortune to tour the sanctity of the United States. Once he/she/they see the clear injustice of the situation, organize a meeting to discuss it in person, pausing to listen to them occasionally before suggesting vehemently that they lobby this matter urgently in parliament. Finally, close the door, but turn just before doing so and beg your MP to subscribe to our YouTube channel as well.
Sour Grapes is out now on Toronto label, Hand Drawn Dracula. The new wave / Britpop inspired album was recorded at Candle Recording studio and Hotel 2 Tango.

StillWaves Join The Safe Sounds Family with It Still Burns
We're delighted to welcome StillWaves to the Safe Sounds family with the release of the debut single from their upcoming LP.
It Still Burns is a driving post-punk banger. When we first heard it, it evoked memories of bands like The Horrors (specifically their album Primary Colours, which still gets rotated here to this day).
After meeting head honcho, lead singer and bassist, Dan Carlyle, he professed his love for bands like Killing Joke, The Cure, and The Chameleons. It all adds up.
The debut LP, entitled Undiagnosed, will be released on limited edition pink cassette on 19th January 2024. The art features the late guitarist, Eric Pentz, who wrote the album alongside Carlyle. Andrew Heule is the drummer on the record.
Undiagnosed [SS122] is the first StillWaves album to be released by Safe Sounds.
