With Safe, NewDad elevate their signature shoegaze/dream-pop sound into bolder, more confident territory. Blending ethereal textures with sharp hooks and nods to Pavement and Sonic Youth, the EP marks a leap in sophistication from their debut Madra. Lyrically introspective, it explores people-pleasing, identity, and adjusting to life in London. From the slacker-rock swagger of lead single “Entertainer” to the grunge sway of “Puzzle” and the string-laced beauty of “Be Kind,” Safe showcases a band expanding their palette while staying true to their emotional core.
