For Closure - Hazy Mourning EP

 

The For Closure EP has already appeared on Add To Want List, which is cool. If there was a Venn Diagram of our similarity, the middle section has become bigger and bigger over recent years and this offering is something that you would definitely expect us both to review.

Here we don't go for written reviews of three track EPs but Hazy Mourning is so good that it has to be mentioned. The Los Angeles five piece also surprise as you would think that the background of their veteran backgrounds would produce an EP that was much noisier and in your face.

This is pacy Pop Rock of the highest order, a little 90s College Rock in places, yet also reminiscent of stalwarts like Husker Du. It is incredibly melodic, riff driven with massive choruses. For Closure sound like a new band, which they sort of are, that are fresh out of the blocks, new to the scene like.

It is hard to pick a favourite of the three, which is testimony to the quality. I only wish there were more and hopefully that will remedied with a full length in the future. Rather than underground, the EP sounds much more mainstream, wonderfully so.

You can listen to and buy the EP here.
