In Autumn 2020, Keaton released a new solo record, Monument. It was a fragile, meditative and emotional unravelling of grief in the aftermath of losing his father. For all its hushed acoustics, Monument cocooned its emotion in some beautifully tender melodies and acute observations. A warm and relatable listen. Here, the Fragments EP acts as an indirect companion piece to Monument. Written at a similar time to the album, its lyrics stray from Monument's poignant subject matter, but in sound and atmosphere it feels entwined. The seven tracks that form the Fragments EP orbit a sweeping kaleidoscope of sonic shapes, shades and textures. Keaton's voice offers lyrics in an almost frozen romanticism. It's a voice that sounds rooted in turmoil but also of strength. A happy sadness. Bleakly beautiful. Fragments EP and Monument are two fine bodies of work by this singular, unique British artist, and two empathetic records of sorrow and strength. 1. Interlude 2. Limb 3. Before Growing Old 4.
