Closer’s “Int’u” is an excellent ride through memory lane

 

After a three-year break that felt like forever for their fans, Scotland’s band Closer is back with a new single, “Int’u.” This song evokes a sense of recollection, blending memories and vivid imagery, much like flipping through old photos while traveling in a van lit only by the passing highway signs.

From the very first note, “Int’u” feels like a blend of late-night drives and unfinished conversations. It evokes emotions similar to those found in early music by Death Cab for Cutie and the catchy sound of Jimmy Eat World. Closer creates a musical atmosphere that feels both familiar and refreshing, like watching a wheel turn in the moonlight while chasing something just out of reach. “Int’u” serves as a love letter to not just people but also to special moments in life. It reflects on the experiences shared in old vans, the comfortable silences between friends, and the journey of musicians who try to take their listeners on a path that strays from expectations. With echoing vocals that evoke fleeting memories and guitars that rush by like a breeze from an open window, Closer captures a profoundly human experience, the bittersweet feeling of growing up while holding onto what matters.

“Int’u” has a warmth that showcases how the band has grown. It still features their emotional honesty, which has won them a loyal fan base, but there’s also a new sense of confidence, a calmness in the quieter moments. This track doesn’t just demand your attention, it captures it by rekindling feelings you may have long forgotten. As the lead single from their upcoming album “Glimpses,” which will be out in June 2025, “Int’u” sets the stage for what promises to be a thoughtful, slowly unfolding record, one that reveals its depth over time and during long drives.
