Beware of Safety
Dogs
The Mylene Sheath
Hands down, Dogs is my favorite album of recent months. Beware of Safety is an ambient metal jam band, the metal-instrumental love child of Pink Floyd and Faith No More, with "Uncle" Rush and "Auntie" Queensryche nodding proudly from the delivery room. BoS released a six-song EP, It is Curtains, in 2006; Dogs is their first full-length album. I first listened to Dogs on a drive down the California coast on a mild spring afternoon. A salty breeze swept up the rocky cliffs, the ocean was shrouded in gossamer haze, and sonic perfection flowed from the speakers. Everything was right with the world. Life since then hasn't been quite so balanced, but Dogs is still a study in grace, adapting to my moods, a perfect distraction. Committing to an all-instrumental format can be risky, especially for new artists, but Beware of Safety makes it work through artistic strength, technical prowess, and harmonic balance.
