Written and recorded over a span of two-and-a-half years, Stories Start or End showcases the Australian three-piece’s bold vision and fine attention to detail, with intricate production and adventurous arrangements underpinning thoughtful musings on identity, growth, and understanding. It’s easy to envision this music on the dance floor—the pulsating beats, window-rattling subs, and atmospheric synths practically defy you to try and sit still—but there’s far more reward awaiting those willing to dig beneath the surface. SAFIA don’t just write songs; they forge entire sonic landscapes with rich, cinematic detail.
