The Royal Landscaping Society - Fractals EP
The Royal Landscaping Society - Fractals EP
PREORDER: 7" WILL SHIP IN ADVANCE OF THE 14 FEBRUARY RELEASE DATE!
The ‘Fractals’ EP is the highly anticipated new single from Spanish indiepop favorites The Royal Landscaping Society! Lead track ‘When There’s Nothing Left To Look Forward To’ is a brilliantly hypnotic heartbreak song layering multiple guitars with twinkling keyboards and electronics to produce the most captivating few minutes from the band so far. ‘Fractals’ perfectly incorporates the mathematical concept of repeating geometric patterns in recorded form, and was written immediately after watching a documentary about the relationship between math and nature. The EP concludes with the stripped back ‘Untitled’ combining piano, six-string bass guitar, and vocals in an especially simple and effective song that will have you reaching for the replay button straightaway. The single channels the usual influence from fellow heartbreak champions Brighter, Harper Lee, and The Cure in exceptionally warm recordings and is one of the strongest singles released on the label to date. Limited to 500 copies on classic black vinyl in a beautiful record sleeve with a design based on the Fibonacci sequence.

reviews
Spanish indiepop band The Royal Landscaping Society release their new EP Fractals on February 14 2025 via Matinee Recordings. The label have made the lead track When There’s Nothing Left To Look Forward To for preview. It’s a captivating, melodic and swirling track thanks to the layer of guitars and the mesmerising synths. The words tell a story of loss & deep longing which may not be the right topic for it’s release day but that will do me! It’s backed with Fractals and Untitled and can be purchased direct from the label in vinyl & digital formats. —Records I Like
The last we heard from Spain’s The Royal Landscaping Society was when the dropped Means of Production, but great news came across the Internet today that they’d have a new 7″ to offer us on Valentines Day. Our first listen has the band working in the synthetic region, letting the steadied beat serve as the foundational element for the vocals; the vocals embrace the band’s pop affinity, coiling themselves around a melodic heat. For me, the finishing touch is what makes the tune perfect, so listen to until the end and wait for the guitar to ring out, offering up this bold burst of energy that leaves the hairs standing up on the end of your arms. Fractals EP will be out February 14th via Matinée Recordings. —Austin Town Hall
