Fragile Animals’ debut album is a bold, best-foot-forward fusion of dreamy, distorted shoegaze and boppy indie-pop. But don’t let Slow Motion Burial’s triumphant, upbeat sound fool you – themes of loss, loneliness, and self-doubt are tackled with their trademark subtle lyricism.

Across eleven tracks that are as sincere as they are ambitious, Fragile Animals embark on a journey that unfolds before the listener: to find themselves and push themselves. For a young band in their first chapter, their sound is impressive and fully realized, integrating driving choruses and intricate melodies in an unrelenting exploration of the self.
