It’s Closeness, It’s Easy is the new full-length album from Planning For Burial, the solo project of Thom Wasluck, out now on The Flenser. This highly anticipated follow-up to 2017’s Below the House explores themes of aging, grief, addiction, and reconnection through immersive soundscapes that blend shoegaze, slowcore, ambient, and doomgaze.

Recorded alone at home in Pennsylvania, the album was shaped in intense, focused sessions that emphasize raw emotion and atmosphere. Over eight tracks, Wasluck weaves together blown-out guitars, drum machines, tape hiss, and moments of silence into a cathartic listening experience.

Rooted in a DIY ethos, Planning For Burial handles all aspects of the creative process—recording, artwork, performance—resulting in a deeply personal and singular body of work. It’s Closeness, It’s Easy marks the project’s twentieth year and stands as one of its most vulnerable and fully realized statements.

Available now on vinyl, CD, and digital formats from The Flenser.
Recommended for fans of Have A Nice Life, Grouper, and Low.
