THE SAFES ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM 'TASTY WAVES' NOW AVAILABLE ON HIDDEN VOLUME RECORDS:

ON STEREOGUM
“simple but mesmerizing pop” - Pitchfork
“smart, melodic music” - NPR Music
The Safes are thrilled to announce their new album, Tasty Waves, produced by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, The Shins, Into It. Over It.) and came out September 8th on Hidden Volume Records. The Chicago-based band of brothers have been gaining fans and critical acclaim for years now, with past releases gaining praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR Music, and The Washington Post, to name a few. Today, they share the music video for lead single “Hometown” with Stereogum, who hail the song as “a two-minute blast of good old fashioned rock’n’roll fun.” Directed by filmmaker and animator Patrick Oleksy, the video aims to “combine the use of negative space while utilizing the background layers of colorful and active neighborhood-filmed footage,” therefore “bringing thousands of animated character drawings to life for each and every frame.”
The Safes will be embarking upon an extensive US tour this fall. All upcoming tour dates are listed below.

Fresh and hot out of the indie pop rock n roll oven that is The Safes, comes the newest addition to their glimmering discography, Tasty Waves, out September 8th on Hidden Volume Records. A lush blend of acoustic rhythm guitars mixed with fuzzy rock n roll tones and bursts of electronic and organic piano, all backed by funky bass work and lively, dance party backbeat drums. The Safes deliver another winner with a weird batch of lyrics sure to make you laugh, think, wonder, cringe, and scream, “hell yeah!”
The Safes possess that unique chemistry that only exists when a talented group of siblings form a band.
Call ‘em “garage-kissed power pop”
- (San Francisco Chronicle),
“atomic pop” - (Rolling Stone),
or simply “wild and crazy”
- (Chicago Tribune).
The Safes have collected plenty of accolades for however you’d like to sum up their songwriting expertise and sharp showmanship. Tasty Waves finds the brothers O’Malley (Frankie and Patrick), drummer Dex Fontaine, and bassist Curt Schmelz bringing the music of The Safes to both their loyal fans and a whole new set of ears. This isn’t just any other indie pop rock n roll record - Tasty Waves is a musical and lyrical hang ten complete with wipeouts and endless full tunnel runs top to bottom. Records as special as this one don’t make it to the beach as often as they used to.
