Close Talker

Close Talker is a Canadian indie rock trio hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, known for their lush, atmospheric sound and introspective lyricism. Formed in 2013 by childhood friends Will Quiring (vocals/guitar), Chris Morien (drums), and Matthew Kopperud (bass), the band blends shimmering guitar textures, driving rhythms, and emotionally resonant vocals. Their releases, like the expansive *How Do We Stay Here?* (2020) and the introspective *Crooked Line* (2023), showcase their knack for balancing raw vulnerability with expansive, cinematic arrangements. Frequent collaborators with producer/engineer JUNO Award-winner Marcus Paquin (Arcade Fire, The National), they’ve built a reputation for dynamic live shows and a DIY ethos, touring extensively across North America and Europe. Tracks like *The Sprawl* and *Papier-mâché* highlight their evolution from scrappy indie rockers to refined storytellers unafraid of exploring existential themes.
