Saskatoon, Canada band Close Talker execute well on “For The Sun” in the UK-derived yearning indie genre that we at B3 adore very much. “For The Sun”s generally rhythm-driven composition provides the right frame for neat swerves of harmony and reverbed guitars that thematically weave nicely with the vocal melody’s rich tones. Close Talker’s sophomore LP Flux is out December 8th
