"Next to Me" comes off Civil Twilight's self-titled debut, released on 21 July 2009, and the South African band's three members cover the ground themselves: Steven McKellar sings and plays bass and keyboards, Andrew McKellar plays guitar, and Richard Wouters handles drums and percussion, with all three sharing the writing credit. Michael Carney and Noel Golden produced it alongside the band.
The album had a life before that, too: the band first put it out independently in 2007, when it was still called Human. The comparisons came thick and fast, early U2 and Muse for the sound, Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley for Steven McKellar's voice, all of it alternative rock with a classical streak running through.
