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!
