Retro electronic production and deeply consuming ambiance, a gentle vocal paired with a colourful, confronting electronica aura – something like the dawn of electro pop and trip hop, with a twist of complex, contemporary lyrical wonder…
Close to Monday take the wheel for modern electronic rock, with the enchanting depth and direction of Breakdown Simulations.
With cascading synths and upbeat rhythms, Breakdown Simulations creates a sense of urgency and vastness from the start, but always the progression is grounded and softened, by the gentle calm and fluidity of our leading vocalist. This gentle tone whispers of influences amidst bands like Portishead, only the production raises the bar stylistically, and the story fascinates.
Alongside a fresh melody, blending melancholy and optimism quick cleverly, the track hits the mark on multiple counts, and makes for a fine introduction to all things Close to Monday.
