Description
THE INTERNATIONAL SUBMARINE BAND Safe at Home hails from 2022 and is a SEALED limited edition and numbered MONO LP issued on Seaglass Blue Vinyl. Often relegated to a footnote in Parsons' career, Safe At Home remains a foundational text in country-rock, laying out the parameters of this new subgenre and influencing subsequent generations of artists – country outlaws, alt. country punks, Americana string-bands, and Nashville insurgents. But it's more than just an artifact, and it's more than just the first confident effort by a restless artist who was hailed as a hero only after his untimely death. Safe At Home is, at heart, an inventive, lively album crackling with energy and ideas and offering fresh angles on familiar sounds. The International Submarine Band approached rock with no presumptions and, more crucially, approached country with no condescension.
That's even more apparent on the new mixes included in this edition, which isolate and emphasize Parsons' vocals. If the original mixes demonstrate his close chemistry with the other players, these new tracks reveal the care and consideration with which he approached country music, whether it's the profound ache in his voice on "I Still Miss Someone" or the desperation he conveys behind the taunts of "Strong Boy." He's not merely singing the songs, but interpreting them: plumbing their depths to see where their sentiments might align with his own experiences. He's writing the rules of country-rock with each word, with each note.
