Close Talker - The Sprawl - LP

Close Talker celebrate the beauty of a good song. The band's fourth album "The Sprawl" is all about friendship, change and development. And of music as a constant on the way to growing together.

'The Sprawl' accounts for the years 2013-2019 in Close Talker: six years of full-on writing, recording, touring, rinse, wash, repeat. Those years included incredible highlights and successes, in exchange for burnout and time away from home. Ultimately this period ended with Close Talker needing a break, coaxed by the pandemic into an indefinite hiatus. Taking this break allowed the band to explore other avenues in music. Will dove deep into writing and production and began scoring music for films. Chris built Slow Weather Music, a record label with an expanding roster of new Canadian artists. And eventually, three years later, Close Talker found themselves reminiscing on all the fond memories from 'The Sprawl' with the ones causing burn out starting to fade. Memories brought inspiration, and inspiration brought Close Talker back into the studio. They have produced an album that brings together all they have learned over their career; earworm melodies, intricate drums, soaring guitars, and prairie charm.

Close Talker's new album comes on black vinyl, and includes a full-colour innersleeve w/ lyrics.
