‘A Trail Of Wind And Fire’ is the new single from Rats On Rafts’ new album\u00a0\u2018Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>released on 29th January 2021.<\/p>\n

A psyche-fuelled journey into the id punctuated with rhythmic kabuki modal mood swings, thunderstorms, digital beeps, traffic noise, and just plain old beautiful cacophonous reverb-drenched sound when needed.<\/p>\n

The third chapter refers to the last five years that Rats On Rafts have spent creating their \u201cdifficult\u201d third album.<\/p>\n

Each song spins a yarn; there are plagues, dreams, wind and fire, \u2018mythical\u2019 characters, and the search for the secret government warehouse.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a musical melodrama: created in isolation \u2013 something we all know so well \u2013 a worldview shut out from the world.<\/p>\n

\u2018Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths\u2019<\/strong><\/em>, with all its interlaced intricacies, is the realisation of their transition from punk-spiked-pop to psyche-pop protagonists.<\/p>\n

Evolving, testing, infectious…<\/p>\n
