With "Stranger", Close To Monday deliver an energetic contribution to the world of synth pop that is deeply rooted in the dark, almost menacing aesthetics of electronic music. Hailing from the USA, they skilfully weave a soundscape that is both nostalgically reminiscent of the pioneers of the genre such as Depeche Mode and Camouflage, while also adding a distinctly unique touch.
The clear, female vocals float above a raw electronic backdrop, which creates a dense, sci-fi-inspired atmosphere through the skilful use of synths and samples. This combination creates a fascinating contrast that makes "Stranger" an outstanding piece in the synth pop landscape.
What makes this song special is the way Close To Monday manage to weave in their own musical DNA in such a way that the sound remains refreshingly unique, despite the obvious influences.
