Frail Body – Artificial Bouquet (Black/Red mix W/Splatter Vinyl)
$49.95 Inc. GST
Frail Body’s “Artificial Bouquet” is a bruising exploration of vulnerability wrapped in a discordant soundscape. Released in March 2024, the album is the band’s first full-length effort in five years, showcasing a maturity in their songwriting alongside their signature intensity. The eleven-track record weaves elements of screamo, black metal, and post-core, with crushing guitars and anguished screams juxtaposed against moments of melancholic melody.
“Artificial Bouquet” confronts themes of impermanence and the struggle to find meaning. The title itself hints at a beauty that’s ultimately artificial, a fleeting gesture that can’t mask a deeper emptiness. This tension is reflected in the music, which is both abrasive and strangely beautiful. The album is a cathartic experience, inviting listeners to confront their own fragility alongside the band’s raw emotions.
