Somewhat lost (until now) to the annals of "CD only release" history, this 2001 album from Peter Jefferies (Nocturnal Projections, This Kind Of Punishment) also just so happens to be one of his personal favourites in the back catalogue. Big thanks, then, to our lovely pals at Grapefruit Record Club for pressing this to wax so it can be heard as the devil intended - remastered, with new artwork and insert, and sounding better than ever. - Flying Out
Peter Jefferies, a living legend of New Zealand underground music, from his seminal bands Nocturnal Projections and This Kind of Punishment, to his collaborative efforts in bands such as Plagal Grind and Two Foot Flame, is perhaps best known for his solo work on masterpieces such as “The Last Great Challenge in a Dull World” (1990) and “Electricity” (1994), as well as “Elevator Madness” (1996). All of these albums came out on vinyl but one of the best was the singular “Closed Circuit” (2001) which, unfortunately, only came out on CD and was somewhat lost to time until now.
After Grapefruit released his collection of singles and unreleased songs called “Last Ticket Home” in 2019, Jefferies mentioned he’d always hoped one of his personal favorite solo albums could someday be heard on vinyl as it was intended. We are proud to finally be able to highlight Jefferies’ last album of lyric-based songs by releasing “Closed Circuit” on LP, remastered and with new artwork and insert. “Closed Circuit” features all of Jefferies’ signature tense and dark, piano-driven rock and moody balladry, along with themes of personal isolation and domestic ambivalence. It’s a tour-de-force that has remained in the dark too long.
