With ‘Closer‘, electro-duo pecq serve up a shimmering sonic tonic, an elixir for the alienated soul.
Gliding in on waves of warbling synths and crisp beats, Jakes’ silk-smooth vocal washes over us, a balm for isolation’s sting. Stripped down yet amplified, their sparse palette achieves a hypnotic richness. ‘Closer‘ lingers like a half-remembered dream, its candid poetry seeping into one’s psyche.
As Jakes reflects on touring’s disembodiment, producer Nikò stirs our spirits with kinetically charged sound design – jittery synths and pulsating bass compel movement. Yet a melancholy remains, the bittersweet ache of altered return.
Together they distill distance into resonant pop, their adventurous sonics in service of affecting songcraft. Laying hearts bare, pecq achieve creative symbiosis, capturing disconnection’s ineffable essence.
