Safe Houses Release I’ll Be Bad to You

I’m having a hard time listening to anything other than this Safe Houses single today, as it’s got just enough attitude and rock to remind me that I’m grasping at hipness straws, but also offers a brightness and charm that correlates to wear I’d like my brain to be. When you press play on the track, you get instant gratification with clanging guitar riffs and stomping drums, just before it opens up to a more kind of paisley jangle that sets the verse up for a delighting swing from the vocals. You go back and forth, back and forth, stomp and pop, crashing organ, and each time the layer of vocals greets your ear, your face breaks out into a huge grin. Go on, try it on.
