“F.E.A.R. (which stands for Fuck Everything And Run) is an anti-concept album,” Fraser laments, “It’s a fuck you to the conventional bullshit Hollywood-style story that musicians tell you fell out of their ass.”
As the Stand Atlantic hype continues to grow and grow, today the band have announced their F.E.A.R album tour. Seven dates across Australia this June/July.
F.E.A.R is out May 6th via Hopeless Records.
Opening with “Doomsday,” a song that Fraser admits starts the album off perfectly with the introduction of the absolute chaos that her psyche was going through and starts the haphazard journey of a very unromantic existence. “If you think I am a creative or a visionary, I am not.” Fraser asserts, “I refuse to be immortalized as anything other than a collection of erratic, irrational, and oxygen-starved emotions I wrote on a page just to be able to breathe.” This self-awareness and disdain for false pretenses and sugar-coating is prevalent throughout, ultimately showcased in the sing-a-long anthem, “pity party ft. Royal & The Serpent.” Bonnie and Royal & The Serpent’s vocals complement each other, yet contrast to form two distinct sounds. This juxtaposition surfaces throughout, further showcasing that life doesn’t make sense and doesn’t always piece together into a life romantic from start to finish.
F.E.A.R. was born out of chaos, frustration, and uncertainty. This album is for those who don’t fit the narrative, who see the cracks and exist in-between. It serves as a reminder that when you feel expectations are walking you down the wrong path, Fuck Everything and Run.
