The Open - 'Close My Eyes' (Loog)
4/5
By: Toby L
Cited as a modern-day answer to the esteemed pop loveliness of the Cocteau Twins, here we find original member of the Twins Simon Raymonde on production-duties, mustering 'Close My Eyes' to an enveloping sunbeam of Doves-cum-Smiths mastery.
Guitars charge and 'soar', while vocalist Steven Bayley projects the sort of invigorated vocal-performance that proves a true challenge to ignore. Rapt intensity in such welcoming, lifting degrees is tough to come by; now it's here, don't let it go.
