Sun Airway has given the world its first preview of their second LP with the release of lead single
Close. Lush and ethereal with a driving rhythm and an instantly memorable chorus, the song is a triumphant example of the blending of pop songwriting and electronic experimentation the group first attempted on 2010’s
Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier. As in many great singles, the warmth of the music here belies some sad and desperate lyrics --
You say you’ve never known love like this before-- I say I’ve never known loneliness like this vocalist
Jon Barthmus laments in the refrain – but don’t let that stop you from dancing if you want.
