Since the start of 2024, Close To Monday, one of the most promising synth-pop duos on the rise, has captivated audiences and steadily growing their fanbase with a series of monthly single releases. Today, the European duo, composed of singer/songwriter Ann and musical producer Alexander, unveils their latest single, “Different.”
The track is a bold statement against the growing dominance of virtual interactions over real-life connections, offering a fresh perspective on the digital age. As the new school year begins and discussions around banning cell phones in schools to foster more in-person interaction gain traction, Close To Monday’s
message is more relevant than ever.
Alongside this release, they are thrilled to announce their first ever set of US tour dates this September, where fans in Seattle, NYC, Minneapolis, and more to be announced will have the opportunity to experience Close To Monday live for the first time.
With “Different,” the duo confronts the troubling trend of substituting genuine emotions and unique identities with the pursuit of digital validation and fleeting social media trends. “Different” continues to showcase Close To Monday’s ability to push the boundaries of electronic music by seamlessly blending darkwave pop with modern techno production. Their music invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and introspection, delving into a world shaped by infinite possibilities. Lyrically, their songs explore the depths of internal experiences—where hopes, anxieties, and joys reside, creating a world where our phantoms thrive.
