Big Big Smile

Description

FRAGILE is about to reach a new milestone with the release of their first album on Le Cèpe Records. After a critically acclaimed debut EP (…About Going Home, 2023) and nearly fifty concerts in France and Europe, the Angers-based band asserts its musical identity at the crossroads of tense punk, emo, and contemplative shoegaze textures. Selected for the iNOUïS du Printemps de Bourges 2025, FRAGILE has distinguished itself with its intense stage presence and impactful songwriting. This first full-length album showcases a marked evolution: more structured, less abrasive yet still deeply felt, it highlights an acknowledged nostalgia, tinged with lucidity. Between raw urgency and airier progressions, the band combines immediate emotion with unifying melodies. This record marks a turning point, more accomplished and open, revealing a creative dynamic in full transformation. A proposition that places FRAGILE in the wake of bands such as Turnstile, Touché Amoré, High Vis, and Militarie Gun.
