This new interpretation entitled \"Dissolve\" includes different mixes and a never-before-heard track, \"Skywards\". Listed on Post-Punk.com's 100 most essential dream pop releases ever, Closedown stand out as one of the most curiously overlooked. This four-piece from Los Angeles was one of America's earliest shoegaze bands; some even say they were the first. Emerging from currents of drenching spectral etherealism, Closedown pin you down permanently with swelling whirlpools of brilliant sounds. The comparison to other bliss-rock bands is inevitable, yet such analogies overlook the uniqueness of Closedown's musical conception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJ Battle - Vocals, Guitars, Keys\u003cbr\u003eFernando Benitez - Bass, EFX\u003cbr\u003eJames Moran - Drums\u003cbr\u003eScott McDonald - Guitars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded\/Written: 1992-1993\u003cbr\u003eAll tracks by Closedown.\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Simon Scott (SPS Mastering)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Decryption\u003cbr\u003e * Red Oval\u003cbr\u003e * Sunangel Summer\u003cbr\u003e * Skywards\u003cbr\u003e * Bumblebee\u003cbr\u003e * Empyreal\u003cbr\u003e * Aquila\u003cbr\u003e * Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56515287449974,"sku":"0760137184829","price":21.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13912114_1227852_20250912075607.jpg?v=1761230917","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0760137184829-dissolve","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
