KAYO DOT comment: "Song and video 'Closet Door in the Room Where She Died' meditate on the theme of haunting, not just in the supernatural sense but in the way the past imprints itself on space", mastermind Toby Driver explains. "The ghost here is not a mere specter but a residue, an event that has left its mark on the house, on the walls, on the very air. The house itself is alive with memories, trapped in a state of suspended time, an echo that will not fade. The ghost watches, trapped in the mirror, unable to escape the house it once inhabited. This ghost is not a solitary figure but part of a larger, more insidious force – the trauma of a past that will not be exorcised. And, like the world we live in, the house is inhabited by the past, the present, and the inescapable blur between them. The music builds on this sense of entrapment and distance. The foundation of microtonal organs, layers of clarinets, and violins creates a dense, suffocating atmosphere, reminiscent of György Ligeti's work – where dissonant beauty holds us in place. There is no percussion here, no steady rhythm to anchor us. The long, drawn-out drones and expansive, reverb-heavy orchestration deepen the sense of isolation, as if we're trapped in a space where time doesn't move forward, but instead spirals inward. The house, like the world, becomes a place where past and present collide in an unresolvable tension, leaving us with nothing but the ghostly remnants of what once was."
