Lush instrumentation and woozy, swooning guitars permeate throughout the entirety of Close Talker’s great sophomore album Flux. With the kind of pop song construction that would make Local Natives jealous all while taking their cues from hazy shoegazers like Ride, Flux creates the perfect balance of layered beauty and firm beat — it’s music to dance and relax to. With stand outs such as the anthemic opener “Heads” and the spectacularly catchy ” For the Sun”, the band is making their case for being the heir apparent to the melodic, lush pop dynasty of Silversun Pickups. This record is filled with the kind of gems that you go back to time and time again — the kind that get under your skin. We could not be happier to be streaming Close Talker’s new record a week before release, and we’re sure that you’ll be as taken with it as we are. Take a listen above and be sure to get the record when it comes out on 11/4 via Nevado Music.
