EMSC (free) 05:12
We'll lie across and meet at sea, we're buried under ancient ashes Without a grudge or cross to bear, we're out at sea, got out for free We're heard across the ballroom dancers, tired and feathered in disaster There's no-one here so be my guest, go tell on me, I'll go without delay Serenade myself. Give up. Get out of here, and don't come back alone. I'll sell myself, my protege, I'll dangle from the height she crashes Describe the thing you hate the most, it's you or me Give out, give up Aspire to be the young pretender, shoot to reach that last crescendo Solitary can't be single Where I am best we'll go without delay We're a victim of our own silences Put your hand on my face and I'll hold still You silence me.
2.
I'm still afraid that I'm not supposed to be here I'm still afraid to look me in the eye I wonder if you wonder, was I doing what I'm told I'm still afraid to look me in the eye Sigh cold, psycho. Sigh cold, I won't lament you. Even if I could. I know who you are now.
3.
If you tell me not to think, I will think about it If you tell me to try, I could go without it I'm standing outside looking up at you. If you tell me not to think, I will think about it If you tell me to try, I could go without it I'm standing outside thinking of you. I'm thinking what we could do baby I'm thinking what we should become I'm thinking what we can do baby I'm feeling what we would become Hello outside, I'll keep my opinions to myself. I'll be the one you were always after.

Seemless 03:38
Alter seemless story, I will whisper to your glory This is the end End of line. Censor me from knowing I will whisper your name, only to myself. Worship at your feet, I'm failing. End of line.
5.
You better believe it, the saddest song I heard was not about you. I never believed the things they said about you. Don't go without leaving.
6.
You'll sit beside them til it bled Close your windows and doors Close your eyes, close your mind Don't listen, don't listen, don't talk. You'll sit beside them it said You won't go out in the sun, you won't go to the ride Let's pretend life's a rehearsal. [Robot, robot, sweet child of mine] Let's pretend life's a rehearsal, we don't need any more. We don't need nothing but each other any more.
7.
Test Fight 03:53
Let's start a fight, it'll be delightful Lead shallow lives, with hungry minds Let's start a fight where no-one ever needs to say... I belong with the corpse in silence I belong in the lower tier Incendiary acts of violence, sit tight and wait for instructions Here we are, just you wait and see Let's start a fight, where no-one ever needs to say... Goodbye, and don't come back. Come back to me tonight, come back to me I beg you Come back to the silence she said We'll fit in somewhere We'll fit in somewhere new.
8.
We fake, we fight, we will re-design We're burning up the underground The faces and the avenues we fight, wound up round you I wonder, what this could be... Can you hear my beating heart, wrapped up round you?
9.
Sorry Excuse 03:50
Self inflicted silent nights I feel better on the inside I can do better Raze my mind and light my temple But I'm wasting my time away and I'll never take a holiday I'm wasting my days and my breath But you won't remember anyway I'm a sorry excuse for a man. Razor my senses, sticks in my soul Wait for my signal I can do better Raze my mind and light my temple
10.
I haven't seen a single one, and I've hunted high and low My frozen assets won't work for me A dozen phone calls, I'm sorry, I miss you I'm so ordinary, you're extraordinary high or low Have you seen the way she goes, my constant reminder Let's go to bed I called the number, honest in my head Our frank discussions lead to arrival I'm not the same, I left a reminder I'm not the same since I hung up to drive Let's go to bed, and rest above the tide Let's go to bed, to sing ourselves goodnight Let's go to bed, I wonder if enchanted Don't walk away, let's go to be

about

This album took ages. Just over ten years in fact. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed arguing endlessly over how loud the guitars should be and how much reverb to put on the snare. Hopefully more.

Download the whole album to get a couple bonus tracks too, Yaldi!

Love, Closer

Things Nice People Say:

"If you liked yer Pixies, Mudhoney, Indie-Grunge like I did...this is right up your street.....for a new era of fans of cerebral intoxicated Indie Rock mayhem love juice..... I want the album!!" Pete Carol @ "the indie"

"Closer might be set to kick off the next grunge revival"
@ www.pressreader.com/uk/the-peterborough-evening-telegraph/20150709/283807147359370/TextView

"If you like your classic rock loud and eclectic, then we have the very thing for you. 10 years in the making, Closer have just released their album An Electric Moment, and it takes the best of US alternative rock of the late ’80s and the ’90s and squeezes out any unnecessary excess to leave a set of songs that are lean and lairy, just as they should be."
