Editor's review
These Baltimore post-punkers sound like they hit the studio after a night spent sleeping on one of Interpol's two hundred couches. They've got that group's cross of quavering concern and militant power, augmenting the mix with the red-eyed angst borne of crashing at someone else's pad.
Biography
Baltimore's Two if by Sea has been at the forefront of the Charm City's burgeoning rock scene for nearly five years now, winning favorable comparisons to groups like Editors, Franz Ferdinand, and Interpol for their dark and heady brand of angular post-punk. On Safety, Two if by Sea sound off, exploring the juxtaposition of post-adolescent life in Baltimore City. Vocalist/Guitarist Cris Cowan dramatically croons lyrics of abstraction, restlessness, and desperation against a backdrop of stunning guitar interplay and taut rhythms. String arrangements replace the synth sounds of old, further encapsulating the atmosphere and air of the City.
