Release and Reception

Love Comes Close was released on November 3, 2009. The album was released by Matador Records on 12" vinyl, CD, and Digital formats.

The album currently holds a rating of 69 out of 100 on Metacritic

Pitchfork's Zach Kelly gave Love Comes Close a positive review with a score of 7.6. Kelly describes the album's singer Wesley Eisold's voice as a "devilish baritone channeling the vocal reticence of Ian Curtis one moment and the yearning of The National's Matt Berninger the next."

In a mixed review from PopMatters Matthew Collins said "Love Comes Close shows some potential for artist growth with a little more seasoned songwriting."

The track "Life Magazine" was used in a 2009 RadioShack commercial.
