SAFE is just Chris Edley, multi-media artist and apparent poultry enthusiast. Story goes that after living in New York, doing art for all the MGMT videos and even co-directing Saul Williams' "Convict Colony" clip, dude went broke and moved back to the East Bay, where he made the SAFE album in a basement with limited means. "Twenty Years On" definitely sounds minimalist–really it's just a flotilla of keys and his voice, which is surprisingly soft (the photo gave us different vibes)–and the remix Aaron Pfenning of Chairlift did under the name Rewards adds little more than a beat and some sunrise synths. They both sound like gorgeous comedown lullabies, though, and an accompanying video is after the break for extended vibery. The eponymous SAFE album is due out soon on cassette, MP3, and limited edition VHS (seriously) through Greedhead Entertainment, the label run by Das Racist and Portland's Lasercave.
