Song of the Day: Closure in Moscow - Vanguard

     I've written about Australians Closure in Moscow before, but a) it's been a while b) they're cool and c) I need something with an M in it, because it's...



     ...Moscow Monday! Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, fuck off. Your song today is "Vanguard" from Closure in Moscow's 2009 disc First Temple. This song is a great example of the frenetic energy and rhythm Closure in Moscow has that very often reminds me of The Mars Volta. If you dig The Mars Volta, as I do, this is a good thing. If you don't, you should still give Closure in Moscow a chance, if only because they're a good deal more focused and a good deal less pretentious-sounding than The Mars Volta. Oh, and if recent rumours/tweetospheres are to be believed, Closure in Moscow is also a good deal more of a band just now, so there's also that. Have fun kids!
