A brand new album from former JESSAMINE bassist and recent SUNN O))) contributor DAWN SMITHSON, her first new material in six years. Incorporating aspects of Jessamine’s swirling sound with acoustic elements and introspective songwriting, Safer Here balances melody with experimentation to create rhythmic, non-ornate songs, constructing an album where every musical gesture carries weight. Includes guest performances from REX RITTER (Jessamine, Sunn O))), FONTANELLE), JUSSI BRIGHTMORE (100 PETS, I’M BEING GOOD, BARON SAMEDI), DAVID FARRELL (SOUTHERNING, DORMANT), and BRIAN FOOTE (NUDGE, Fontanelle).
