To herald the arrival of their second album next year, Salt Lake City’s finest, Choir Boy have just unveiled ‘Nites Like This’. Speaking about the new single, the band’s mainman, singer-songwriter Adam Klopp says it “contemplates the impermanence of romantic love and is meant to simulate a dream in which you’re dancing with your lover, but they are slowly pulled away by an invisible force.”
For the new record Klopp is joined on bass by Chaz Costello (also a member of Choir Boy adjacent act, Human Leather), saxophonist and keyboardist Jeff Kleinman plus Michael Paulsen on guitar and together the four men create an imperious swell of reverential sound, balancing emotional loss and alienation with helpless yearning. On ‘Nites Like This’, Choir Boy’s elegant gloom conjures up very fond memories of the Blue Nile and Talk Talk in their 80’s pomp and promises much for the forthcoming album.
‘Nites Like This’ is released through Dais Records
