Started as a studio project by Gizz Lazlo (Dr. Know, U.K. Subs, The Freeze), For Closure has shared a new single called "Carousel," out now via Mindpower Records, with plans to release a full-length in 2024.
Speaking of the single, Lazlo explains:
"Carousel" was written many, many years ago about a friend's relationship with his children. Having no children of my own I didn't understand how that could be. I didn't understand it. Although, I did see something very toxic in the relationships he had with them. One day, one of his kids spoke to me about how her father treated her at times, and it broke my heart. I wrote this song because of something she once said to me in front of her mother, that her relationship with him was always "up and down, and round and round". Immediately it reminded me of a carousel. Inspired by that conversation I decided to write this song about it.
For Closure features an ensemble supporting cast of musicians from the Los Angeles County region, with a foundation of songwriters Lazlo and Luis Estefania (F.Y.P., Rhythm Collision, Buford) -- both of whom played together in For Sale, which disbanded and, in a sense, led to this project.
