Close To Monday – Turtles

Turtles in a synth frenzy: Close To Monday's new hit “Turtles”

Close To Monday - Turtles (Cover artwork)With ‘Turtles’, Close To Monday take us to a synth-driv­en par­al­lel uni­verse that cap­tures my ears from the first moment. The intro is a real syn­thes­izer fire­works dis­play that makes my synth pop heart beat faster imme­di­ately. I feel like I'm on a jour­ney through time, skil­fully fus­ing the essence of the 70s Berlin disco era with 80s synth sounds and a touch of 90s dark pop.

The soft, female singing voice blends per­fectly with the cool, elec­tron­ic and futur­ist­ic sound. It is fas­cin­at­ing how the basic­ally relaxed mood is repeatedly inter­rup­ted by vari­ous synth attacks. To me, these seem like tar­geted glitches in the song and cre­ate a grip­ping dynam­ic and ten­sion. The lyr­ics take up the image of dream­ing turtles fly­ing through waves – a sur­real notion that per­fectly matches the futur­ist­ic soundscape.

Lyrics of "Close To Monday – Turtles"

Dreams of turtles
Easier than waves
They show you their way
With bubbles in space

The dreams of turtles
Are clear and straight
They flap their wings
And fly away

The dreams of turtles
For those who dare
They fly through waves
And they don't care

Dreams of turtles
Easier than waves
Move like themselves
Forget all mistakes

Move like turtles
Be clear and straight
So spread your wings now
And swim in space

No one can be one of us
