In the Heat of the Night

The bio of Closer, aka Liam Daly, makes for interesting reading. A founding member of post­rock outfit These Hands, Closer’s sound is described as the “oscillation between ignorant paralytic obliteration and the violent effort it takes to break free from the grasp that has enslaved us. It is this slow and silent struggle that permeates the sonic landscape of Closer’s lush experimental and neo­classical drones”. If that has you scratching your head, you can always check out ‘Night Heat’, a live set he recently uploaded to SoundCloud and Facebook. He also has a couple of EPs and a full­length album to check out. His latest release is ‘Heartache/Lifted’. Hit facebook.com/closernoise for more.
