Episode 242: Fragile Animals

Today on the podcast I am joined by Victoria Jenkins of Brisbane shoegaze risers Fragile Animals!I will be chatting to Victoria about the band's latest EP, 'Dead Stop', which was released on the 29th of May.The EP, 'Dead Stop', was produced by Elliot Heinrich, and was written in the aftermath of the band’s breakthrough 2025 EP 'Tourist' and their first UK and European tour - a 14-date run across Germany, Poland, Ireland, England, and Scotland, including sold-out shows and festival appearances. That period marked both a creative high and an emotional unravelling. The EP reflects the disorientation of coming down from momentum, the cost of ambition, and the fragile determination required to keep pushing forward.Myself and Victoria will be discussing the EP, talking about what it explores thematically, how the EP was written, our favorite moments on it and the two music videos created for the singles.On top of all of this, the band are currently on tour and will be taking the tour to Ireland for 3 dates, playing Dublin, Galway and Belfast!UK/EU Tour Schedule19 June - Farewell Youth Festival - Dresden, Germany20 June - Fluxbau - Berlin, Germany25 June - Sanderhaus - Kassel, Germany26 June - JZ Kamp - Bielefield, Germany27 June - ANB Nord - Dusseldorf, Germany28 June - Musicon The Hague - Rotterdam, Netherlands01 July - Le Pub - Newport, Wales02 July - Sin É - Dublin, Ireland03 July - Roisin Dubh - Galway, Ireland04 July - Ulster Sports Club - Belfast, Northern Ireland05 July - Hug and Pint - Glasgow, Scotland06 July - Sneaky Pete’s - Edinburgh, Scotland07 July - Gullivers - Manchester, England08 July - Shakespeares - Sheffield, England09 July - Folklore - London, England10 July - Supersonic - Paris, France11 July - Drop The Knife Festival - Solingen, GermanyPhoto by Kelsey Doyalwww.fragileanimalsmusic.com.auUncultivates live at Lost LaneShortest Straw in Sin E!Spaced W/ Dry Socket live at Lost Lane Hosted on Acast.
