The sound of <em>It&#8217;s Safe<\/em> is quirky and ethereal, while sometimes leaning towards a darker tone than you would expect from a modern dream-pop record. This is exactly the reason why Side Thing are going to be an exciting act to follow as they grow further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This unique take on the genre is also why we believe the tracks featured on&nbsp;<em>It&#8217;s Safe&nbsp;<\/em>would be right at home featured on a gritty British drama film, where it would accentuate that sense of visceral emotion in a scene.
