Lower Than Atlantis<\/b> took a massive step into the limelight with their self-titled album introducing a change in sound that is both polished and undeniably catchy. Now, ‘Safe In Sound’<\/i> looks to continue their meteoric rise to superstardom in what feels like their most important release to date.<\/p>\n

With four songs from ‘Safe In Sound’<\/i> already in circulation, Mike Duce and company have given a good idea of the direction for this album straight off of the bat. Opener ‘Had Enough<\/i>’ showcases their trademark sound with catchy, memorable riffs, with a little bit of AC\/DC-esque intricacies thrown in. ‘Dumb’<\/i> follows much in the same vain, again decorated with clear musical ability. ‘Long Time Coming’<\/i> and ‘Could Be Worse’<\/i> are riff driven monsters, layered to perfection and complimented heavily by Duce’s individual and instantly recognisable vocal tone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The recently released ‘Boomerang’<\/i> is the dark horse here. Synths, sub bass, in fact a completely different approach entirely from anything Lower<\/b> have done on this album or any other. Although a curveball, this could be one of the catchiest moments on this record. Something fresh and exciting from a band usually more than comfortable with exploiting a sound that has seen them rise above their contemporaries. <\/p>\n

Comfortable does not mean Lower Than Atlantis<\/b> have stopped trying. pushing the ideas touched upon in their previous release to build a more clear and concise effort. Although Duce’s lyrics at times can be steeped in clich\u00e9s, he really knows how to write a hook. Just one listen to ‘Work For It’<\/i> will have you singing along as loud as you can.<\/p>\n

‘Safe In Sound’<\/i> is exactly that, the safe option. That does not mean that this is not good, in fact it’s the complete opposite. Lower Than Atlantis<\/b> have engineered something destined for the airwaves and with it produced a near flawless album. Lower Than Atlantis<\/b> could just be the brightest star the UK rock scene has to offer.<\/p>\n

4.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘Safe In Sound’<\/i> by Lower Than Atlantis<\/b> is released on 3rd February on Easy Life Records<\/b> \/ Red Essential<\/b>.<\/p>\n
