Fragile Tom

Fragile Tom is a German duo that creates a unique blend of synthpop, drawing inspiration from the late 1970s and early 1980s electronica. Their music often explores the balance between cheerfulness and introspection, reflecting the rich legacy of pioneers from that era. The duo includes Rauhofer and Huber, with Rauhofer handling vocals. Fragile Tom has released two full-length albums: **Kingdom of Mistrust** in 2011 and **The Particular Go** in 2015. Their music style can be compared to bands like Hurts, OMD, and Erasure, as it embodies catchy and atmospheric synthpop with well-crafted lyrics.

Their album **The Particular Go** is more pop-oriented than their debut, featuring tracks like **The Tone**, **Removed From Fiction**, and **Bleak November Sun**, which showcase the duo's ability to craft melodic and memorable songs. Fragile Tom's releases often feature beautiful artwork, such as the use of Pieter Bruegel's painting "Return of the Hunters" for **The Particular Go**, highlighting their attention to detail and visual presentation.
