Synth-pop duo Close To Monday seems to be riding a high wave at the moment, knocking it out of the park time and time again with an endless stream of brilliant, high-energy releases, the latest of which will be their latest EP “World Turtles”, a record centered and inspired by the magnificent sea creatures it is titled after.

“Turtles”, the song at the very heart of their highly anticipated EP, captures the duo’s love for the kinetic energy of late 70s Berlin discotheques. Yet it transcends by visiting the 80s and 90s synth vernacular to span all three decades of sound into one coherent weave of familiar sounds with a fresh new context.

Imagine a wonderful journey marked by tranquility and self-discovery, a steady, thoughtful approach to life, urging us to find clarity and purpose in our paths as we glide gracefully beneath the chaotic waves above our heads. That is the clarity and philosophy behind “Turtles”. The closing line underscores the uniqueness of each individual, suggesting that no one can truly replicate another’s experience.

Move like turtles
Be clear and straight
So spread your wings now
And swim in space
No one can be one of us

Overall, Close to Monday’s “Turtles” encourages a spirit of exploration and the courage to chase one’s aspirations, and that’s how the otherworldly beauty of these creatures has inspired Close To Monday in this beautiful centerpiece of a song today.
