context_page_description: Safe in Sound is the fifth and final studio album by British rock band Lower Than Atlantis. Following the release of Changing Tune, Island Records were streamlining and dropping artists who were underselling. Despite the album underselling, the group couldn't be dropped as the label had picked the option for their next album. The label offered the band the chance to take an advance and leave, which they subsequently did to build a personal studio. Here, the group worked on their next album, Lower Than Atlantis, which was released through Sony Music and supported by successful tours. In early 2015, the band were having discussions with Sony about their next album.
  Drum tracks were recorded in late 2015 at The Pool at Miloco Studios in London with producer Dan Lancaster. Following a six-month break, which began from December 2015, the band were recording in their own studio in July–August 2016. All of the guitar and bass parts were recorded in their personal studio, and vocals were recorded at Lancaster's house and vocalist/guitarist Mike Duce's flat. Mixes were done while the band was on a European tour.
context_section_description: Following a premier on BBC Radio 1, "Work for It" was released as a single on 17 August 2016. Duce explained that with their previous album, the group released "the 'best' song" first and found it "hard to follow-up single-wise." With Safe in Sound, the group wanted to be "strategically building  with singles this time round – they get better and better!" At the end of August, the band performed at the Reading and Leeds Festivals. A music video was released for "Work for It" on 12 September, directed by Ben Roe. The video features the band performing in a bar. Duce described the video as "making a choice, is it the right one? Who knows." On 30 October, Safe in Sound was announced for release, and the album's artwork and track listing was revealed. On the same day, a music video was released for "Dumb". In November, the band supported You Me at Six on their tour of Europe. On 30 November, a music video was released for "Had Enough", directed by Chris Hugall.
  On 20 January 2017, "Boomerang" was made available for streaming. Safe in Sound was released on 3 February through Sony Music-affiliated labels Easy Life Records and Red Essential. In March, the band went on a co-headlining tour of Europe with Young Guns, followed by headlining UK tour with support from Young Guns, Hands Like Houses and Roam. In June, the band supported Blink-182 for a few shows in Germany, and performed at Rock am Ring. In July, the group appeared at the 2000 Trees festival in the UK. In November and December, the band supported Enter Shikari on their tour of the UK and Europe. On 22 March 2018, a music video was released for "I Would", consisting of tour footage from the previous year. In April, the band went on a headlining tour of the UK with support from Milk Teeth and The Faim. Following this, the group supported Sleeping with Sirens on their headlining tour in Australia and New Zealand. In May, the band continued their headlining UK tour with support from Boston Manor and The Faim. At the end of the month, the band performed at the Slam Dunk Festival.
