title: Big When Far, Small When Close
text: # Big When Far, Small When Close
  
  Big When Far, Small When Close is the third studio album by Japanese band eX-Girl, released on the PARANOIZ label in Japan (PAR-50024), and by KIKI Poo Records in the US (KPCD-001).
  
  The line-up consisted of Chihiro, Kirilo and Fuzuki, and the album was produced by Hoppy Kamiyama.
  
  Several of the tracks are sung a capella apart from the odd chime, triangle or hand clap. Exceptions are Zozoi with its tribal-esque drumming, Dandera Korabatten with some repeated background instrumentation, and Alabama Song with a carnival-esque brass and clarinet arrangement.
