New Dad - Safe

Safe captures NewDad’s evolution with sharpened focus and confidence, expanding their shoegaze and dream-pop roots with nods to Pavement and Sonic Youth. The EP balances ethereal textures with punchier, more deliberate dynamics, marking a clear step forward from Madra. Lead single “Entertainer” showcases Julie’s airy vocal style, threading slacker-rock inflections through dense guitars and shifting drums. Lyrically, it unpacks the tension between self-definition and others’ expectations—a theme echoed across the EP. As they navigate life in London and the pressure of rising success, Safe proves that NewDad’s introspection and sonic ambition are not only compatible, but mutually enriching.
