Closer was released on August 7, 2001. Better Than Ezra launched a tour in support of the album on July 26, 2001. The first single off the album, “Extra Ordinary”, which had been mixed by DJ Swamp, was inspired by an AC/DC song. The album’s promotion hit a snag after its record label, Beyond Music, was closed down following a business dispute towards the end of 2002, shortly after Closer ‘s release. Beyond Music’s closure left Closer out of print for several years. In June 2009, Better Than Ezra announced that it had acquired the rights to Closer and would re-release it in the Fall of 2009 with two new previously unreleased tracks, “Simple Song” and “Screwed Up and Beautiful”.
