Where \u003cem data-end=\"384\" data-start=\"365\"\u003eUnknown Pleasures\u003c\/em\u003e was taut and searching, \u003cem data-end=\"417\" data-start=\"409\"\u003eCloser\u003c\/em\u003e turns inward, slower and heavier, circling themes of isolation, control, faith, and exhaustion with an almost unbearable calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"906\" data-start=\"546\"\u003eSynths drift like cold air through empty rooms, basslines move with a funereal patience, and the drums feel ritualistic rather than propulsive.
