Close to Picture

Close to Picture is a studio EP by American guitarists Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge, self-released by the two on August 6, 2013.

Eldridge explained about the release, "The whole point was to explore sounds and textures that are uniquely possible on a flat-top steel-string guitar. ... Traditionally, these old Martin guitars, which are some of the most incredible instruments in the world, have been used for accompanying folk, bluegrass and country songs. There hasn't been a lot of exploration of what they're uniquely capable of, their particular rich tonal palate, what they have to offer to the world that other instruments don't". Lage added that it "was kind of a grand experiment".
