Mattie Safer Is Back — And “Good Things” Moves
Somehow the good things never last, but one thing’s for sure: with thee brilliant and far-out musician Mattie Safer, it sure feels possible.
The former The Rapture bassist and vocalist is stepping into a new chapter with Safer, and his debut single “Good Things” immediately reminds us why his particular mix of dance-floor instinct, soul and indie-rock nerves has always hit differently.
Entrancing, enigmatic and hypnotic are just a few of the adjectives floating through our extraterrestrial musical brains while listening. Mattie has brought all the dance-rock poppers to the school playground and is teaching them quite a thing or two.

This is one for thee authentic movers and shakers. There is an earnest, divulging lyrical thesis underneath all that movement, too. The verses build with the tension of somebody unsure where the road is going, before the track opens into a fever-high dance chorus and a full rhythm intervention.
Powerful, gritty guitar sits beside joyful melodies, and Safer still sounds most comfortable when melancholy and motion are occupying the same room. He may sing in wonderment, question everything and holler through the blues — and we would not prefer it any other way.
So strap on your giddy-up dancing boots and get into thee Mattie Safer groove. Volume raised to its highest altitude. A juggernaut of pulsating sonics is ready to inhabit your planet.
Somehow, with a tune called “Good Things,” this one feels like it just might last.
