Nathaniel - Close Our Eyes EP

  • Kortrijk is the place, House Grand Cru is the, er crew, "House Is for Those Who Can" is the motto and, on the evidence of this, they may have a point. While the influences might be current—the two tracks here owe a debt to the sun-drenched, libidinous sound of Hot Natured et al.—the Tears For Fears-like vocal takes each to a different place. There's a choral feel to this pair which seems destined to fill vast spaces—a possibility maybe acknowledged by the release's artwork which features a stained glass window over a crucifix in a corner of the house of God. Variety isn't this EP's strong point. Mid-paced kicks, haunting synths and hand claps dominate, but the vocals leave the most lasting impression which, allied with some subtle flourishes, elevate this release beyond most similar fare.
