There’s something about “Closer,” the newest track from The Moon, which is irrepressibly magnetic. It pulls you into a tender, expansive, and true velvet haze. The track doesn’t scream for your attention; instead, it leans in softly, asking you to sit with your feelings and let them air out. The performance has a bit of exposure, as if we’re being let in on a secret or watching a personal choreography unfold.

It’s loose enough to accommodate your meaning but sturdy enough to guide you through it. In a frequently raucous and rushed world, “Closer” is a soft repose, a soulful whisper in the night. With “Closer,” The Moon proves itself to be making music and space for feeling.
