Naturally, the closer we get to each year’s end, the less new album releases we see, which however can be regarded as an advantage for new and upcoming bands, like [Firestations](http://www.firestationsband.com/?ref=glamglare.com) for example. The five piece hails from the UK, calling North East London their home, and has just released their first album *Never Closer* on the artist founded label [Waltz Time Records](http://waltztimerecords.com/?ref=glamglare.com). 

The album opens with the driving, dreamy and simply beautiful *French Caves* – my personal favorite track on this intriguing debut. Other stand-out songs are *Lonely Town* and *Cold Sweaty Palms* as well as the title song *Never Closer*. Some of the 12 tracks on *Never Closer* could have benefitted of some more mixing and sound editing because some sound a bit unbalanced to me. That said, the album nevertheless is refreshing and a lot of joy to listen to. Fun to read is also the band description on Firestations’ [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/firestationsband/info?tab=page%5Finfo), where band member **Laura Copsey** plays “laptop/flugelhorn/flute/vocals” – while others might simply call this “synths” they call it “laptop” – while a bit nerdy, it’s also at the same time absolutely charming! I am having a hard time identifying the flugelhorn or the flute because overall Firestations’ sound is guitar driven, dream pop even shoegaze at times with a psychedelic touch thrown in occasionally.
