Denver-based band Better Weather craft a warming spell on their new track “Too Close for Comfort.” French horn and bouncy keys lead a refreshing introduction, as the vocals ease in with lyrics retelling of a love rekindling and taking on life’s adventure. The vocal tone and horn-laden charm reminds fondly of the band Beirut.
The track’s lyrics stir in their impressions of fears and risk-taking inherent in early adulthood, where taking the plunge into relationships and passions may seem daunting. “But what will I do, when you bring along someone new?” the vocals ask. “Will I still be the first in line?” The feelings of insecurity play with relatable qualities — “our perfect day is turning grey.” Multi-layered vocals during the chorus — “can I get through to you?” — add further to the compelling, emotive sound.
The track arose from a School of Song Songwriting workshop, facilitated by Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes), and the band is currently working on a debut album, whose influences range from “20th century classical to modern indie and pop.”
