Release Notes:
"Fragments" is the brand new EP from Bournemouth band Rapids! Written
in the band's cramped rehearsal space during the winter of 2010,
"Fragments" perfectly soundtracks the daily struggle of life in a
sleepy coastal town. With its gushing honesty and striking maturity,
Rapids! prove with this EP that they are strong candidates for people's
Ones To Watch lists in 2011.
"Fragments" is the sound of a band discovering its true identity;
peeling back layers of bouncy math-pop beats and angular guitar hooks,
leaving at its core a body of work that swirls with deep intensity and
primal emotion. Musically, "Fragments" scrapes and slides like tectonic
plates between glistening melodies of Foals and the raw drive of The
Joy Formidable whilst frontman Matt Holliday emits powerful and
heartfelt declarations that leave you feeling like you're sat in a
self-help group with The National's Matt Berninger taking register.
The band recorded in three seperate studios during the making of the
EP, keen to perfect their newly formed sound. The job fell on the
shoulders of producer/mixer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers,
Idlewild) to collect up the fragments and blend them into one. As the
name suggests each song breaks away into its own bundle of fiery angst.
But it's when its pieced back together that "Fragements" reveals its
true force, with each peak and trough taking you on a journey through a
troubled mind.
These 2 tracks offer a taster of what the EP will bring, and it they're
anything to go by, it's going to be superb. These tracks are well worth
a download if you like fun dancy indie pop.
