Japanese independent artist Kierrr has released 'Frail = “me”', a second single that places dream pop and shoegaze inside an increasingly unstable sonic environment.
Whispered vocals and bright summer imagery initially give the track a deceptively gentle character, but distortion, household electronics, lighter sounds and deliberately degraded digital noise gradually destabilise the recording.
Kierrr cites early-2000s Japanese cinema among the reference points surrounding the project, particularly the tension between beautiful images and more uncomfortable emotions hidden beneath them.
Rather than simply building toward a conventional shoegaze wall of sound, 'Frail = “me”' uses the accumulating noise to blur memory, fiction and the immediate present.
