We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Jake Kalmink & Further Closer’s music video for their song “Flashbang” (watch it below). The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album Lights a Candle, Blows it Out, which is scheduled to be released on December 8, 2018 through Idle Idol Records. You can pre-order the album here.
According to Kalmink, “‘Flashbang’ is a song about finding time to make art and enjoy yourself in a world full of monetized expectation of productivity and commodity.”
About the band:

The combination of the finely crafted ensemble and Kalmink’s warm timbre, each note flows into the other seamlessly, making it easy for the words to sink deep into the listener’s heart. The song tackles the disparity between wanting to wanting to make art and wanting to make a living. In the end, it’s all about doing what’s right for you.
