About

\\u201cI\\u2019ve always been drawn to the darker sides of art and music,\\u201d says Little Invisibles vocalist Gina Degnars. \\u201cEven back when I started taking piano lessons, when I was seven years old\\u2014I always wanted to play the minor chords, not the major ones. There\\u2019s a powerful beauty in darkness, I think.\\u201d

So there is, from Chopin to Poe to Twilight. And it\\u2019s that same dark, powerful beauty that resonates throughout Little Invisibles\\u2019 brand of hauntingly melodic alternative pop. With Gina\\u2019s aching voice and poignant keyboard at the fore, the band\\u2019s epic, sweeping songs rise and swell like waves on a moonlit shore until they crash over the listener like a sea of Byronic heartbreak. Five of these impossibly moving songs\\u2014all composed, like the rest of the group\\u2019s music, by Gina\\u2014make up Closer, Little Invisibles\\u2019 stunning debut.

A dramatic unveiling if ever there was, Closer, which Gina co-produced, is a veritable jewel box of wide-screen modern rock. Within: jaw-dropping riches like the opener, \\u201cBreathless,\\u201d all ghostly piano, soaring vocals, and danceable trip-hop beats; the wounded-but-defiant lament \\u201cWhat Once Was,\\u201d the EP\\u2019s only piano-less track; and \\u201cHeadrush,\\u201d a sultry duet with co-composer Lance Davis that pulses with heart-beating rhythms and gothic (small g) melodrama.

If it all sounds a bit Jane Eyre, well, then why not? Gina, who\\u2019s been through the relationship mill as much as any mature artist, maintains that she\\u2019s merely allowing her romantic angst to flower into songs that are beautiful and, ultimately, redemptive and uplifting for those who hear them. \\u201cWhen I\\u2019m happy I never go to the piano to write,\\u201d says Gina, who holds a bachelor\\u2019s degree in piano performance and studied at Boston\\u2019s Berklee College of Music. \\u201cI write first and foremost from emotion, and after a breakup you never have to look far for inspiration. But even then there usually ends up being an element of hope in my songs.\\u201d
