“Variegation” is an uplifting and nostalgic track that speaks to the connection between humans and nature, reflecting on the stages of life we all experience. Close Drive, who originally played as a duo, have expanded and are actively performing throughout the North East. Following their self-titled debut album, the band signed with indie label Free Dive Records and worked tirelessly in the studio with producer Tyler Ripley to create this catchy and fresh tune. With a blend of optimism and wistfulness, “Variegation” is a breath of fresh air and a perfect invitation to welcome in the Spring season. Fans of Close Drive can look forward to more upcoming releases from the band in 2023.
There’s a breeziness to this song, an air that’s light, endearing, and so innately wistful and calming. It’s one of those songs that’s impossible not to find yourself humming at ease to or casually lying back and humming along to.
