Art-rock indie-pop collective [**The Pull of Autumn**](https://www.facebook.com/ThePullOfAutumn)
presents their new single [**‘Opening / Closing’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/track/opening-closing)
featuring **Kraig Jordan**. Born from the reflective period as the world began to
emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic. Crafted by the songwriting duo of Kraig Jordan
and **Guy Benoit**, and recorded at Plan of a Boy studio in Providence, Rhode Island,
this track is a poignant exploration of re-entry into a transformed society.

The second taste of their fifth album [**‘Memory Tree’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/memory-tree),
this single follows [**‘I Was Just Dreaming’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/track/i-was-just-dreaming),
which features Boston artist **Bruce MacLeod **on vocals. 

“Opening/Closing” harnesses the raw emotions and experiences of its creators during
a time of global uncertainty and change. It features a rich blend of acoustic and
electric guitars, layered with a diverse array of percussion, capturing the essence
of renewal and the complex emotions tied to reengaging with the outside world,” 
says **Kraig Jordan. **

**‘Opening/Closing’ on [Bandcamp](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/track/opening-closing)**

“When I sent Daniel Darrow the stems to work on he expressed he wanted this add 
an electronic element to the song via electronics and synthesis, the results are
an exciting take on electro – acoustic music”    

**Daniel Darrow** adds “I first heard Kraig’s music through a friend, who worked
with him on a electronic project called Nerve Pill. Noting that Kraig’s tastes in
music were similar to mine, I began exploring his music to find he is a great songwriter
and artist. I’m excited to have contributed to this track, which touches upon so
many styles of composition and shared memories of a strange and often lonely time.”

The [**‘Memory Tree’ album**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/memory-tree),
described as “a melancholy remembrance of moments in time and life”, will be released
via Boston imprint [**RBM Records**](https://www.facebook.com/rbmrecordsboston) 
on CD and digitally, two years after The Pull of Autumn’s [**‘Beautiful Broken World’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/beautiful-broken-world)
album, which involved several music luminaries, including [**The Pop Group’s Mark Stewart**](https://youtu.be/VCcC2aIMqd8)**,
Living Colour’s Doug Wimbish** and producer **Adrian Sherwood**.
