about

Perth shoegaze/dreampop band SONICA unveils their second EP Fractured Heart.

The sultry follow-up to Inception reveals the band’s emerging musical personality and diversity with three new tracks alongside a remastered version of their 2021 single ‘Wait for me’.

Recorded and mixed by Andy Hill at Elemental and mastered by Forensic Audio Mastering, the Fractured Heart EP matures and evolves the band’s shoegaze/dreampop crossover sound.

Opening track ‘Try’ blends anthemic and energetic post-punk and dark dreampop, with a wistful longing lyric continuing the band’s tradition of delving into the dark side of human relationships.

The melancholic theme continues with the stunning minimalist and atmospheric ‘Loved and Lost’. A haunting vocal engulfs the sparse guitars and hypnotic rhythm riffing on the bitter-sweetness of love which sometimes coming at great cost…

Singer and lyricist Claire Turton delivers an emotional and impassioned plea for time in a relationship in ‘Wait for Me’ with her remarkable vocal complemented by neo-psych wall of sound guitars, and underpinned by energetic post-punk rhythmic interplay.
 
Fractured Heart concludes with the rollicking crowd favourite ‘Glad’ - and the melancholic theme suddenly evaporates as the track explodes into life with the words “… I’m glad you’re unhappy!”

lyrics

You, left me
I didn't realise then
That you set me free

We were so tight
But underneath it all
I felt it wasn’t right

You’d hold me dear
Control the things I did
Began to disappear

Realise with fright
It wasn’t love that kept
You holding me so tight

You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy

You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free

I see you now
I look back at myself
And wonder how

I stayed so long
Thinking you were so right
Clearly I was wrong

You haven’t changed
I see that her life
She has rearranged

I deserve more
Some one who worships me
Someone I can adore

You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy

You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free

You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy

You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free

You Chose her not me
You’re unhappy
That’s fine with me
Because I’m free yeah

You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy

You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free
