Close Talker Shares New Single 'From Light to Darkness'
New album The spread It will be released on March 22
January 10, 2024
Canadian indie rock outfit Close Talker returned for the final time in 2019 with their fourth full-length, How We Live Here, after which the band went on hiatus during the pandemic. After working on other projects in recent years, the band reunited in the studio, creating their latest upcoming album The spread, is expected to be released on March 22. Last year, the band shared the album's two lead singles, “Paper-mâché” and “Exodus,” and today they're back with another new track, “From Light to Darkness.”
“From Dark to Lightness” is a work of contrasts, offering both meditative lows and anthemic highs for the band. It's not hard to imagine flashes of lights erupting as the band hits the chorus, popping over dramatic guitar riffs, three-part harmonies and shimmering synth textures. However, some of the song's most resonant moments also come when the band pulls back, like just before the final chorus, when they let the track hang in the shadows before soaring for a soaring finale.
Vocalist Will Quiring says of the track, “'From Dark to Lightness' was the first song that took shape when the three of us got back together at Chris's cabin in late summer 2020. It actually came together pretty quickly and I think that's because we don't want to overdo it. It was written on guitar and it translated well in its simplest form, so we tried to stay true to that as much as possible, while also pushing the envelope when needed. The story told is quite literal, so we wanted to unfold clearly without getting in the way. Matt refers to it as our 'journal entry anthem' and I think that suits him.”
Check out the song below. The spread released everywhere on March 22.
