1) A male bee that has no sting and gathers no honey; or 2) some thing that makes a sustained hum or buzzing sound. Webster's says a drone can be either, but for purposes here, let us choose the latter.
You've been there before — listening to the radio but unable to tell the difference between bands, or listening to a single band, but unable to tell the difference between songs; you know — a sustained hum or buzzing sound.
Is this what Safetycan means by the phrase: "It's nice to be a drone, but it gets a little old"? After all, the lyric comes from a song called "Queen Bee," so yeah, there's always the possibility the song is actually about a male bee. Still, let's choose definition No. 2. And if you haven't noticed, popular music these days is droning itself to death (See: rap. See: grunge. See: dance. See...).
Thankfully, though, there's hope: Safetycan's Esther Becomes Queen. Sophisticated, silly, swanky and smart, Esther is a musical collage — a fusion of pop, folk, hiphop and rock, saturated with a soulful groove. Though sprinkled with the hipness of Beck and the irreverence of the Replacements, Safteycan's appeal is its ability to keep from being fingered — never trying to be everything to everybody, only being what it is for itself.
Best described as simple music for complicated people, Safetycan has made an experimental record you'll actually want to put through repeated listenings. Esther is high-speed-musical-channel-surfing, with an impressive range of vocals, instruments and sounds.
Conceived, created and realized by New York based multi-instrumentalist, electro-wizard and urbanized-songwriter Jahn Margulies, Esther struts like some bad-ass ne'er-do-well, clanks like a one-man band and waxes philosophical like some wayward missionary. Esther is an adventure of sound that is strong from the beginning and consistent throughout.
Esther never gets old. So don't worry about the drones. Safetycan has all the sting you need.
