Close to Monday Present ‘Breakdown Simulations’



“Breakdown Simulations” by Close to Monday is a sonic experiment where a human becomes a system under pressure. It’s a model built to explore what happens at the breaking point — when internal structures can no longer hold, and the only way forward is through transformation.


“Breakdown Simulations” is about pushing yourself to the edge. About the balance between cold detachment and a silent inner scream. About how, sometimes, collapse is not the end but the only path to renewal.


Sonically, the track is dense and cinematic — driven by cold, layered synths and a pulsating rhythm that echoes like a heartbeat monitor. The melody grows from stillness into a storm, moving from distant observation to emotional collapse. Anna’s voice mirrors this process: calm yet trembling, distant yet painfully human. It’s a soundtrack to inner tension — where emotion and circuitry merge into a single signal.


For Close to Monday, turning inward is a familiar journey. Their music moves through the space between analysis and confession, between logic and emotion. “Breakdown Simulations” becomes another point on this map — a place where a person meets themselves on the edge.


About Close to Monday


Close to Monday craft a musical journey through emotions, fears, and hopes — fusing new wave aesthetics with the cinematic power of modern electronic sound. Inspired by icons such as Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, they blend dark elegance with bright synth-pop expression.

Their logo draws inspiration from Scandinavian runes symbolizing strength, success, and time — much like their music, it supports those who seek their own path.
