The ‘Fractals’ EP (matinée 101) is the highly anticipated new single from Spanish indiepop favorites The Royal Landscaping Society!
Lead track ‘When There’s Nothing Left To Look Forward To’ is a brilliantly hypnotic heartbreak song layering multiple guitars with twinkling keyboards and electronics to produce the most captivating few minutes from the band so far.
‘Fractals’ perfectly incorporates the mathematical concept of repeating geometric patterns in recorded form, and was written immediately after watching a documentary about the relationship between math and nature.
The EP concludes with the stripped back ‘Untitled’ combining piano, six-string bass guitar, and vocals in an especially simple and effective song that will have you reaching for the replay button straightaway.
The single channels the usual influence from fellow heartbreak champions Brighter, Harper Lee, and The Cure in exceptionally warm recordings and is one of the strongest singles released on the label to date. The EP is limited to 500 copies on classic black vinyl in a beautiful record sleeve with a design based on the Fibonacci sequence.
It is officially released February 14, but is available for preorder now in the Matinée shop! The stellar ‘Means of Production’ CD (matcd088) from the band is also still available and absolutely essential listening so pick up a copy of it if you haven’t already.
You can add recent 7″ singles from The Popguns, Red Sleeping Beauty, or Math and Physics Club (or recent CDs from Azure Blue, Bubblegum Lemonade, Red Sleeping Beauty, or Northern Portrait) to your order with little to no additional postage cost so do the right thing and support these magnificent Matinée artists.
