Our Take

If Thom Yorke and Regina Spektor had a love child raised on a steady diet of folk and electronica, it might sound something like SHAPES STARS MAKE's latest offering, "These Mountains Are Safe." This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking listeners on a journey through lush soundscapes and intimate lyrics that will have you dancing one minute and crying the next.

From the opening track, "Valleys of Gold," with its haunting melodies and infectious beat, to the closing ballad, "Stars Aligned," this album is a masterclass in blending genres and pushing musical boundaries. The band's unique use of instrumentation, including mandolins, synths, and a children's choir, creates a sonic landscape that is both familiar and otherworldly.

Lead singer Sarah Johnson's ethereal vocals soar over each track, pulling listeners in with her emotive delivery and poignant storytelling. The lyrics touch on themes of love, loss, and finding solace in nature, drawing parallels between the majesty of the mountains and the highs and lows of human emotion.

While some tracks may meander a bit, losing themselves in their own intricacies, overall "These Mountains Are Safe" is a triumph of artistry and innovation. SHAPES STARS MAKE have crafted an album that is both thought-provoking and danceable, a rare feat in today's music landscape. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself get lost in the mountains with this mesmerizing record.
