    You’ll Be Safe Forever is a wormhole backward in time. It’s also a timeless reminder of how valuable both Mark Van Hoen and WFMU are to the contemporary music landscape.

    You'll Be Safe Forever proceeds in this indeterminate fashion, with Locust maintaining a razor's-edge balance between comforting and disruptive sounds.

    The result is, yes, another Locust album: ghostly and immersive headphone fodder that offers the option to lie back and tune out, or tune in and dig deep. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.100]

    The more physical moments are nearly outshone by a set of beat-less ambient pieces that amount to some of Locust's most riveting work.

    From a purely musical perspective, You’ll Be Safe Forever remains a case of unfulfilled hope: an album that promises a great deal but attenuates halfway, eventually leading the listener down a path that’s disappointingly safe and familiar.

    It is not good and and it is not bad. Most of it is just present and accounted for.
