Piano Magic is an influential music project that was formed in 1996 by Glen Johnson, Dick Rance, and Dominic Chennell. Initially inspired by studio-bound projects like This Mortal Coil, the group started as a loose collective with ever-changing line-ups. In its early years, Piano Magic's home recordings featured contributions from friends and acquaintances. However, by 1999, they had transformed into a fully-fledged international touring group.

Throughout their career, Piano Magic's sound evolved from lo-fi electronic experimentation to post-rock and electropop before settling into lush melancholy chamber pop. With numerous albums and singles under their belt, they gained recognition for their unique musical style.

In January 2017, Piano Magic announced that 'Closure' would be their final album. They bid farewell to their fans with a memorable last UK concert on December 3rd, 2016 at The Lexington in London – exactly 20 years after their first-ever performance.

Originally released in CD only format on the legendary 4AD Records in 2002, this album is re-issued here for the first time on vinyl on the Second Language Music label. This post-rock classic by the Anglo-French band, Piano Magic, is notable not only for featuring the first recording in 30 years by long-lost freak folk doyenne, Vashti Bunyan but also an early appearance by John Grant who, of course, went on to much bigger things. There are further guest appearances by the German electronic duo, Tarwater, Robert Johnston from Glaswegian arch-rock band, Life Without Buildings, Charlotte Marionneau of Le Volume Courbe, Paul Anderson of Tram and Suzy Mangion.

The album artwork has been completely redesigned for this release. (Limited to 500 copies only).
