Safe Ground: Vinyl LP
Release date: 24 November, 2023
Sandrayati welcomes you into her beautiful world. On her debut album, ‘Safe Ground’, she offers a profound and mesmerising exploration of identity, love and courage.
As someone who goes where the winds take her, Sandrayati cannot be confined to a singular sound or genre. Swirling around the folk-influenced guitar picking are myriad subtle textures created from synths and other electronic elements. What remains consistent is her intrinsic, tangible connection with nature.
‘’Crafting the songs in this album created a space soft enough to fall into, revealing the intimate pulse of my heart and nourishing the bravery to grow into new earth. As I landed, the songs themselves taught my voice how to nurture this emerging world. Slowly they, along with the many hands of a new community with gratitude to Ólafur Arnalds created a home for me, and now hopefully for you: an offering of Safe Ground.’’ - Sandrayati.

Reviews
"Simplicity is hard to master as it is; being barebones is almost as difficult as composing for a full orchestra and choir. However, Fay achieves great things with subtle echoes, instrumentals, and voice."
"In song, Sandrayati seeks to honour her roots and ancestors, in doing so hoping to share something that is both spiritual and tangible." - NME
"Don’t even get us started on the album itself. It's a perfect debut album that shows off her vocals so well." - The Honey Pop
