RCGNTN: make local your focal

Straight off the first chord and snare hit, you know you’re in for a song that we’ve all retreated to a couple of times in our lives. That song that you cuddle and hold on to for support when Cupid gave you the short end of the stick. That song that you picture yourself singing in the pouring rain. Outside your Ex’s window. (Or it may be just that I’m that much of a sissy.)

Closure’s formulaic song structure serves the song pretty well, what with the intricate guitars and mood-setting drums. Zahir’s smooth vocals float gently on the guitar and drum combo, complementing perfectly. The band leads you up to the bridge, readying you for the chorus, and sure as hell doesn’t disappoint.

A pretty catchy song, the band has subtle hints of Mayday Parade. This is very evident during the bridge, when you can hear Zahir’s emotions breaking through amidst the cacophony. A good effort by the band and all in all, a pretty good song. One to emote along to.
