about
The second single to Closet Yi's 'Speed Heals' EP is "Riverside Pawn Shop." Stern hi-hats and snares underlay a nostalgic riff which is joined by a 4x4 bass kick that rolls into an acid house thumper. If our lives are our own biopic, then the Pawn Shop is a fixture for transient relationships. "Riverside stop bys are iconic. They have a special feeling of coming and going, arriving but not staying. The melancholic emptiness of these locations caught my mind and I wanted to make something with a scent of haziness and anticipation," said Closet on the inspiration behind the single. The release continues to utilize electronic music as a vehicle to explore meta concepts that stem from a time where we're sectioned off from one another. "Although you might just pass by the old pawn shops down the riverside, it will always remind you of a memory from sometime in your past that will lift you up.
