Words: Sam Geary
Released last week, Chicago-based indie pop duo GOLDS drop their newest single, 'Fragile'.
Following their debut single 'Guilty Pleasure, the synth-driven 'Fragile' comes with a catchy line in melody, blended with lyrics of vulnerability and a finely tuned sense of youth-centric emotion.
“One of the most organic song writing processes I have experienced was writing ‘Fragile’," says songwriter and frontman Nate Mitchell. “I was in a state of confusion, anxiety, doubt and anger, all spilling out as lyrics rather effortlessly compared to the months of writing that other songs have taken me. As I lived out the situation more and more, the song grew with me.
"The lyrics were sinister, then angry, then sad, just as my mind did in my process own grieving. There are elements of all those moments within the song along with moments of clarity during the bridge; realizing that love is bigger than any reasons I was giving to be angry. The minimalistic production of this song was a challenge to manage correctly without it sounding empty or sloppy.”
