The Closer You Get was Six by Seven's second album. Recorded at The Square Centre in Nottingham with Ric Peet - who'd produced one track on their first album - and John Leckie - who'd worked with many British bands including Radiohead and Simple Minds. After the album's release and just before playing at Glastonbury guitarist Sam Hempton quit the band.

The album was critically acclaimed and appeared in several music magazine end-of-year polls, including those by NME [1] and Melody Maker [2].
