Close Counters Drop Soulful New Single ‘Butter Bread’ Featuring Shiv
Fresh off the success of their ARIA-charting album LOVERS DANCE ACADEMY, Melbourne-based electronic duo Close Counters return with their latest release, ‘Butter Bread’, a soulful, groove-infused track featuring Irish singer-songwriter shiv.
Blending broken beat rhythms, silky basslines, and smooth keys, ‘Butter Bread’ transports listeners to lazy summer afternoons, carried by shiv’s entrancing vocal delivery. The track reflects on nostalgic love and fleeting moments of connection.
“This song is about looking back on a time that felt right – when love was easy and full of possibility. It’s nostalgic and reflects on the closeness that once was, but with an understanding that things have changed. There’s a bit of longing, but also a quiet appreciation for the memories that linger.” – Close Counters.

This release continues the duo’s growing collaborative synergy with shiv, first heard on their track ‘Freedom We’re Needing’. ‘Butter Bread’ follows Close Counters’ biggest Australian headline tour to date, which wraps up in Canberra before the duo heads overseas for a debut run in New Zealand and Kazakhstan. Their global takeover continues with an extensive UK/Europe tour, featuring high-profile performances at Glastonbury, Love Supreme, and Brick Lane Jazz Festival.
With ‘Butter Bread,’ Close Counters once again prove their ability to craft soulful, genre-blending music that resonates worldwide.
