Close to Monday is back with a gripping new track that explores what it's like to withstand severe pressure. "Breakdown Simulations" is an experiment in which a person in a total system, raising the maximum capacity, has an engine fueling the heart full of emotion, and the mind, trying to balance for appropriate control and decomposition. Instead of seeing the collapse as a negative, they both see it as the beginning of something new.
"Breakdown Simulations" sets a cinematic tone from the start. Close to Monday deliberately uses this atmosphere to contrast the outside with the quiet intensity that builds throughout the song. It's a song whose lyrics and music grapple with the point at which your internalised structures begin to crumble. It becomes a necessary catharsis in a journey towards reconstruction with greater integrity and strength. It is an idea so appealing and universal to anyone who has been stressed, defined by their worries, or feels they need a fresh start.
Close to Monday strikes a delicate balance between introspection and energy, making "Breakdown Simulations" emotionally resonant and club-worthy. The track feels like the construction of something deliberate, with every beat and subtle twist of distortion adding to a theme centred on pressure and rebirth.
"Breakdown Simulations" places Close to Monday among artists not afraid to ask the big questions about humanity, surrounded by tastefully intricate, progressive production. This track is meant to be a listening experience and a reminder that sometimes the most critical development happens in the most unlikely of circumstances.
