The Fragiles - "On and On" | Album Review
The Fragiles are the brainchild of songwriter David Settle, a busy man who holds down multiple bands and releases albums worth of material every year. On and On is a wonderfully chewed up and fuzzed out record, whose lo-fi palette can almost keep the excellent pop songwriting at arm’s length, almost.

The Fragiles - "Kaleidoscope" | Post-Trash Premiere
David Settle is set to release The Fragiles’ latest On and On via Living Lost Records on February 12th. While most of the recordings so far have been exceptionally lo-fi, Settle teamed up with Justin Pizzoferrato to mix and master the album. It’s still recorded to cassette, but the boost in fidelity can’t be understated on The Fragiles’ best record yet.

The Fragiles - "Everybody Hurts Video" | Post-Trash Premiere
While David Settle’s (Big Heet, Ex-Breathers, Psychedelic Flowers) music has always veered closer to blown-out post-hardcore and noisy punk, his vast range of influences has positioned his latest project with a decidedly jangle-pop aura, one driven by the days of Flying Nun Records, Cleaners From Venus, and early Yo La Tengo.
