This Guns Conquer the World
BERLIN, GERMANY: The music video for the track GUNS by the emerging electronic duo “Close to Monday” became the winner of two prestigious international festivals at once. The video artwork won the Best Dance Music Video category at the International Music Video Awards London and at the International Music Video Awards Rome. ‘Guns’, the music video, is now available on Youtube where it has already collected more than 100 thousand views.
Emerging European Synthpop band Close To Monday have been breezing through career milestones at breakneck speed since their inception as a collective in 2020. Tracks from the album released in the Spring 2021, which was fundamentally new for the band, occupied the first places in the charts of European radio stations in Germany and France in this summer. In July of this summer, the collective released their first remix of the LP’s star track ‘Time’, courtesy of established German producer Ron Flatter.
The Guns track was conceived as one of the leading tracks of the album.
The key phrase of the GUNS track "God you need guns" is actually a manifesto demanding to pay attention to what is happening to civilization!
“Sometimes it seems that everything that happens in the world is terribly oppressive, there is so much injustice & suffering; it seems that we need the hand of a stern God who will put an end to evil. This feeling of anticipation of a righteous and tough hand” - Close To Monday
The band members describe their album as a search for harmony in a world of unrest. Each of their tracks communicating a ‘photo of feelings’ – a ready-made image, a situation reflecting their perception of things happening in the surrounding world and inside themselves, emotional experiences that are familiar to everybody.
