Reviews and Comments
Rats on Rafts return with brand new music since 2021’s acclaimed album, ‘Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths’.
Currently preparing for the release of their fourth album set for release in 2025, Rats on Rafts’ new single ‘Hibernation’ is a rain-soaked lament to nature’s battered mortality, a monochrome snapshot of the landscape played out in beautiful cold wave delay.
Finding joy in self-isolation, “I noticed that I could feel really comfortable with songs that can feel really heavy and isolated,” says Fagan “ If you listen to a Joy Division record for example, for a lot of people they’re really downcast. But for some people it’s like stepping into a really warm bath, because you can really identify with that music. I think that’s also what’s going on with “Hibernation”. I could identify with the coldness of the atmosphere, and that languid feeling of that song.”
