    + bonus Easter egg track.


    ‘Shards’ is an album of complex arrangements, but with a pop sensibility at its heart, much like the bands of the 80s from which it draws influence and comparison.

    Guitars and synths play a large part. Think Simple Minds, The Cure, The Human League, Siouxsie And The Banshees, coupled with later Post-punk revivalists Editors and Interpol.

    Like its predecessor, much of the album's lyrical themes pertain to matters of the heart; it is essentially one big love-fest, but with a dark, often cinematic vibe. Despite romantic forays, also explored are forced imprisonment in an apocalyptical landscape ('Loving The Ghost') diplomatic poisoning ('Russian Doll') and even contemporary astrophysics ('TRAPPIST-1'). There also features In Isolation’s former single, an interpretation of the classic Bauhaus anthem 'She's In Parties’ (the accompanying YouTube video to this track with its 1920s mood is currently the most popular on the band’s music video channel - youtu.be/9uCAUEb9P4Y).

    Frontman Ryan Swift says of the band's long-awaited follow-up, ‘“Shards” took us a while to complete since our debut four years back, but now it's here, it's one we're proud of. The songwriting, we feel, is more confident and the lyrics are deliberately less ambiguous and more relatable. I found love in my life and so I brought love to the fore in these lyrical presentations.

    ‘We can't wait until we can bring these out to you again in a live capacity. We're talking to festivals and we have a promoter negotiating a number of European dates on our behalf. We hope you can find something in our music to help you through these tricky times. We'll see you out there soon!'

lyrics

This is Earth and I forsake it
Will the Earth cry when I'm gone?
Here on Earth we war in isolation
Planet Earth has left me numb

I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, though I'll never see your sun rise
You tore imagination a new hole
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, but your children have a dark side
Got a Hippocratic conscience to uphold

Caught in calm, perpetual twilight
Forty light years seems so far
Do you feel the same? Because I cannot breathe
Distant loving breaks my heart

I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, though I'll never see your sun rise
You tore imagination a new hole
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, but your children have a dark side
Got a Hippocratic conscience to uphold

Aquarian sun, give me TRAPPIST-1
As the feeling burns and the dreaming yearns

Aquarian sun, give me TRAPPIST-1
(I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, though I'll never see your sun rise)
As the feeling burns and the dreaming yearns

I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, but your children have a dark side
(As the feeling burns and the dreaming yearns)
