Sounds: Close Encounter // Never by My Side

Words by William

Did you ever go to a high school prom and just fucking wish there was something worth slow dancing to? Your jeans were too tight, you smelled like cheap booze and smoke, and you had entirely too many feelings. Seattle’s Close Encounter takes you back to that moment and gives you the damn song.

Hear ‘Never by My Side’ below:
