It is, in it's simplest idea, when the music flows very well with itself and sounds very comfortable to the ear. It can be musically described as major and perfect intervals, such as major 2nd's, 3rd's, 6th's and 7th's; as well as perfect 8th's, 4th's, and 5th's. The human ear appreciates notes played in harmony. This concept can be heard in both fast rhythms and slower cords, but the effect and magic behind it is most felt in the long cords. When two singers, for example, can sing simultaneously and in harmony with each other. It adds a delirious effect to the listener. For that moment you don't give thought to technicality. You sit there and appreciate the perfect flow and seamless finish. This idea of closeness can make you lost in the sound, but you're happy to lost there. It probably wasn't the intended goal for the listener, but they're completely satisfied with the result anyway.

This idea isn't just limited to pitch in notes, however. This concept can be heard in the synchronization of two or more percussionists or drummers as well. The Top Secret Drum Corps in Switzerland gives us a beautiful audio and visual representation of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olO9KzXkONc
This song, and virtually all of Pentatonix' work, gives a wonderful example of closeness and musical harmony. Right from the beginning you can hear the three singer's voices mesh and flow together, getting lost in each other's voices. There's no clashing and no sting to the sound, it's a very comfortable sound to the ear. Each voice can be individually heard, but you have to work to hear each one.
