One of most highly anticipated IDs from Nora En Pure’s recent sets around the planet, Lexer’s ‘Closemouthed’ sees the light of day on Purified Records. Combining playful vocals with an uplifting arrangement, this summer-tinged creation takes listeners on an energetic ride and marks Lexer’s label debut.

The ‘Closemouthed’ artwork displays a shot of corals on the ocean floor, captured by Daniel Nicholson. Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth, providing habitats for approximately 25% of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor. They play a vital role in carbon cycling, as they absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change. Despite their appearance of sturdiness, coral reefs are fragile structures built by tiny polyps over centuries. They are highly sensitive to changes in water temperature, acidity, and pollution, making them vulnerable to environmental stressors.

Located on the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, Daniel Nicholson is one of the globe’s most prominent professional underwater photographers. He seeks to share the beauty and magic of the underwater world to inspire conservation and change.
