SO BELOW, “Close” (Nazariff x Rosé Throne remix)
When a relationship gets past the point of no return, it’s time to move on, even if the other party wants it to get deeper. So is the message of “Close” by Kiwi alt.pop singer So Below. I wrote not long ago about Nazariff and Rosé Throne’s rather splendid update on “Cities In Dust”, the 80’s new wave hit by Siouxsie & The Banshees. The guys are back with their atmospheric ‘witch house’ remix for So Below which adds ongoing mystery to her heartfelt story. There’s an almost classically repetitive backdrop in the song’s middle verses which sticks in your head like an unobtrusive ticking clock, as well as an unexpected but gentle drop later on with some dazzling keyboards that follow. Overall this remix of “Close” is easy on the ears but soul food for your head. Check it out at the link above.
