Arguably Better Than Ezra's best work, Closer is often described as bammin' slammin' bootylicious. By 1988 Better Than Ezra had released a demo cassette tape, Chime Street Studio Demo Tape. In 1989 the band released a cassette-only album, Surprise. They released their first nationally-distributed album Deluxe in 1993 Swell Records, 1995 Elektra. It was released on 2 different labels, the independent Swell Records first, in 1993, and later national l read more. BTE regrouped on a new label, Beyond, turning out Closer in 2001. In one sense, time treated the group well, since they simply became better at their craft. Kevin Griffin's songwriting is easier, rarely suffering from the strained sincerity that dragged down many of their albums. This time around, his melodic sense is sharper - not just on rockers, but on ballads - and his songs are given excellent treatment by a muscular band, presented in a supple production by Brad Wood.

Re-Issue in 2009 with two bonustracks. Legal problems resulting from Beyond's bankruptcy meant it would be four years before Better than Ezra's next studio album, Before the Robots.
