Battling on the edge of pop-punk and alternative rock, the new Closure. album, I Don’t Mind, leaves behind the emo-pop essence that the band previously had, and takes on a more culminated sound. With just eight tracks, and wrapping up just under thirty minutes, the album is short, but well done. I Don’t Mind is uncharted territory for the band, as their older tracks are math-rock mixed with emo, while their latest album adopts a more urbane sound.
I Don’t Mind doesn’t completely abandon their math-rock riffs and emo-pop style, it adds just a hint of that classic Closure. sound, but is emboldened by a refined spirit like we so often see throughout the pop punk and alt rock genres. Their songs are longer, stronger, and their song titles are more concise, discontinuing the use of long, humorous titles like “Top Ten Anime Betrayals” for simple and succinct titles like “Memories”.
