'LOVERS DANCE ACADEMY' is a concept album about an idea where we want to transport the listeners to a club, or collective, that's manifesting a better world through art. It's both a metaphor for the power of collective energy in dance music that can give life to the people, and literal in the sense that there's a collective behind the Close Counters album. A place where you learn, it's mysterious and intriguing. Never quite giving everything away. Each song is a confession of life and love's growths, 'FREEDOM WE'RE NEEDING', 'FEELING TAKES OVER ME', and 'ON THE MOVE' cover the longing for freedom through movement. 'WAITING ALL NIGHT' and 'CONSTANT LOVE' are more personal accounts of love's journey. 'I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU' is a collective message to lift those around you or someone in need."

We’d like to thank everyone who helped facilitate the creation of this record, from the many studios or make-shift recording spaces where these songs were written, produced and mixed, to the supportive friends, family and community. We’re ever grateful.
This record was made predominantly on stolen land belonging to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. We wish to pay our respects to the elders past present and emerging and note that sovereignty was never ceded.
