"Closure" was the third and final single Chevelle pulled from Wonder What's Next, their 2002 album on Epic, and it shows off the band's knack for menace in slow motion. Pete Loeffler's verse creeps in dark but tuneful, the chorus stays melodic right up until it crashes into heavy chords, and the second pass comes back meaner, riding into a bruising bridge, with Joe Loeffler on bass and Sam Loeffler on drums holding the floor steady beneath him.
Garth Richardson produced it, Michael "Elvis" Baskette recorded it and Andy Wallace mixed it, and the video kept things simple, stitched together entirely from live footage.
