Closebye – the New York City band featuring recent Artist Spotlight interviewee Margaux on bass – have shared a new single called ‘Two Knocks’. It’s taken from their upcoming LP Hammer of My Own, which comes out August 23. Check out a video for it below.
“’Two Knocks’ is a song about ghosts–and lack thereof,” the band’s Jonah Paul Smith said in a statement. “The lyrics were inspired by a phone conversation with a loved one who was experiencing this crippling fear that a ghost was in their house. As I was struggling to comfort them, my first inclination might have been to say something along the lines of; ‘ghosts aren’t real, you are safe and it’s all in your head.’ But then it occurred to me that whether or not ghosts are real, it doesn’t make this experience any less scary for this person. If the ghosts are all in “in your head” isn’t that more terrifying? Maybe the psychological horrors that are self-generated are worse than the external, amorphous ghost. There’s no getting away from ourselves.”
