Pica pica, Pica pica! presents Rats On Rafts + supports TBA
“One of the great contemporary European rock bands” Louder Than War
Rats On Rafts return with brand new music since 2021’s acclaimed album, ‘Excerpts Of Chapter 3: The MindRuns 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.”
You might say Rotterdam’s Rats and Rafts relationship with the past is complicated. Especially as a band never too keen on looking back. The revered punk rock experimentalists still remain highly unconcerned being called the harbingers of the quote-unquote Dutch Invasion – an increasing number of refractory bands from The Netherlands making noise overseas.
The Rats’ proclivity for things eroded by the decay of time has remained a constant in their rigorous hands-on ethos. The Moon Is Big (2011) Tape Hiss (2015) and Excerpts Of Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths (2021) are truly gripping timestamps of a band refusing to give in to the supposed ‘progress of the world’ – first as hungry punk rock upstarts, then as fiery analogue recording dogmatists, and psych-rock protagonists.
Instead of moving along with these volatile currents, Rats on Rafts stubbornly stand their ground in the subterranean hollows where their creativity always seems to thrive.
New single ‘Hibernation’ is out 24th September on Fire Records.
