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

Why
Do we still try
We both know
That its damaging
And I
I can’t lie
It’s become
So Exhausting

You and I have nothing left to save
I know you have nothing left to give
Now the last hand has finally played
Then perhaps I’ll finally get to live

Move on
New song
It’s alright
We’re so wrong

Hide
What's here inside
We both know
That we’re hurting
And I
I can’t lie
That a part
Of us Is dying

We’re no longer who we used to be
We can only sit here and reflect
You didn’t mean to do that thing to me
It's clear there is no mutual respect

Now Gone
Our Song
It’s alright
We were so wrong


Why
Do we still try
We both know
That its damaging
And I
I can’t lie
It’s become
So Exhausting

You don't want to be here anymore
There is nothing left for you to prove
Nothings stops you walking out the door
Why is it that you can’t seem to move

Move on
New song
It’s alright
We’re so wrong

Try

Lie

Hide

Why
