Coming from the enigmatic Water Face is the fabulous “Gotta Get Close”: a track that rests on its laurels as a swinging throwback to the days of Gary Low and Chic. Bursting right out of the gate, the track begins with a fade into a peppy bassline followed by an unstoppable 4/4 beat and guitar licks so light it would make Nile Rodgers pick up a guitar. Combine all of these elements with an ambience that screams out “put me on a 7″ single now,” and you have one of those precious jewels that will force the Twitter generation to whip out the Shazam app on their iPhone (only to scream in futility when the app pulls up no matches because, let’s face it, this track is way off the grid).
But that’s not to say that this song never will be on the grid; after all, this is a celebration of a classic kind of sound that never gets old and, if Water Face continues to produce such quality pieces as this, they’re gonna be on the radar sooner rather than later.
