Closer Than Veins (2005) is Outlandish's third album. The first
single was "Look Into My Eyes". The song's lyrics are based on a
poem by Gihad Ali, a Palestinian who wrote the piece when she was
a teenager; the poem expresses the plight of those suffering from
America’s foreign policy with regards to Israel and Palestine.
The video is based around the fairy-tale Little Red Riding Hood.
It portrays an Israeli soldier as the Wolf and the Palestinian girl,
wearing a Kaffiyeh, as Little Red Riding Hood. This album showcased
the group's more mature outlook compared to their previous works.
Tracks such as "Just Me" and "Una Palabra" give a rare insight into
the life in Europe today as seen through the eyes of ethnic minorities,
whereas "Nothing Left To Do" perhaps the most daring and compelling
track on the album boldly tackles the still taboo ridden issue of
a young Muslim man catching HIV: Outlandish performed a live percussion
version of "Look Into My Eyes" at the "Islamophobia" conference
held in Copenhagen, Denmark in May 2006 which was hosted by the
Islam Channel and included many theological and political speakers
and community leaders.
Their club thumping single "Kom Igen" is featured on EA's FIFA
07. Outlandish included two new (bonus) tracks "In Good Hands" and
"Angels Lower Their Wings" on the deluxe version of Closer Than
Veins. They were the only Danish act performing at the European
MTV Awards 2006, where they also won the prize for Best Danish Act.
Closer Than Veins was released in UK by Sony BMG in March 2007,
with "Look Into My Eyes" being released as the first single on 5
March. " Callin You " as the second single produced by Mintman .
The UK version of Closer Than Veins included a rendition of Bob
Marley's "Redemption Song."
