U.K. electronic artist Maria Chiara Argirò will deliver their new album this spring.

Announced today, Closer will be released on April 26 via Innovative Leisure. The artist said this about their forthcoming album, which can be pre-ordered here:

“It is about a feeling, a dreamlike feeling in motion, a feeling that we cannot describe, a dream I’m sort of walking through. Emotions/dreams/feelings that sometimes you can just imagine, a dreamlike world where we walk through to get to the core of ourselves a bit more, even if things are completely undefined and blurry. While working on the music there was this strong feeling - at times blurry and at times more defined - of getting, with every single note, closer and closer to the person I want to be. Free. Curious and consequently Aware, Connected and Closer to the people I love. There is so much noise in this world, I think being direct, gentle, light, open and connected is the key.”

The title track from the album arrives with a music video directed by Raoul Paulet. The director said this about the visual, which features dancer Klaudia Wittmann:

“A woman relives her journey on this planet in the pursuit of belonging. Only through the acceptance of the world around her, she can find our true self. Or, is it the other way round?”

The artist will make their North American debut at SXSW next month followed by appearances in Milan, Rome, and London. Tour dates can be seen below.
