Words: Izzy Butler
One of Little Indie's favourite songs of the year has to be Newcastle outfit Club Paradise's 'Kirby Keger'.
Now the quartet have done it again with 'Closer'. Produced by Matt Rist (Good Soldier, Swimming Girls), the high energy, synth-pop number instantly feels like an indie disco dancefloor old friend. Lead singer Ryan Young’s vocals serve as the focal point, around which shimmering electronica swirl.
"'Closer' is about that unforgettable first time you meet someone," Young explains. "The whole track is centred around the idea or image that you’re in a bar, the music is blasting and everyone is having a great time - you start talking to someone and there’s an instant click but, you don’t really know them.
"You want to keep talking to them, but it’s too loud to conjure up anything meaningful - suddenly you’ll find that the simplest words have left your brain in a sheer state of panic, and you’ve got nothing at all to say so you’re just kind of awkwardly bobbing to the song thinking 'right where do we go from here?!'"
Well, if it's Club Paradise that's playing - maybe forget the girl and just enjoy them!
