FRAGILE : Big Big Smile (new album review / chronique du nouvel album)
We’d been waiting a while, teased first by the May single “A Reason Why”, then “Celebrate” in September, and finally “Tiny Ghosts and Disco Lights” in October… and here we are at last. “Big Big Smile”, the band’s second album (or first, if you consider “…About Going Home” to be an EP), dropped a few days ago and it’s already taking off. The band has levelled up: Baptiste’s singing has never sounded better, and the emotion running through each track feels sharper, brighter, impossible to resist. Ever seen people cry at a gig? Come see Fragile. You’ll also see ecstatic grins, and you’ll feel a surge of warmth and kinship flowing both ways, from the crowd to the band and from the band back to the crowd. It’s the kind of connection you get with a group like Turnstile, something powerful and fresh that isn’t quite hardcore, nor new wave, nor pop, nor emo, but a mix of all that, with even a touch of shoegaze. Some call it “emo post-hardcore”; we’ll just call it immense talent.
The band can do anything he wants, breaking free from the hardcore framework that’s been stretched thin over forty years, adding ethereal guitars, tempo slowdowns that let the emotion seep through, fierce riffs that stake out a hunger for life, and even a lovely closing ballad. And on top of that, it’s still perfect for a bit of stage-diving. What more could anyone ask for? It’s more than enough to say it loud and clear: Fragile is one of the brightest hopes in French rock right now, and missing out would be a real shame.
