Magnetic Skies have announced new album ‘Fragments’, due out on 07 November 2025.

The upcoming full-length will pick up where 2023 debut ‘Empire Falling’ left off, attempting to make sense of the deep-set cracks in today’s world and set against a dramatic landscape of analogue electronics and soaring vocals.

Frontman Simon Kent commented, ‘“Fragments” reflects a fractured, fast-moving world where identity, intimacy, and meaning are increasingly elusive; life, memory, relationships, and reality are broken into pieces, and each track is trying to gather those pieces into something coherent and meaningful. There’s a yearning for reconnection, with moments of clarity, love, and transcendence to offer salvation.”

Initially setting out as a duo in 2019, Magnetic Skies was born as a studio-based project created by lead vocalist and keys player Simon Kent and Jo Womar also on keys. Driven by a shared love of 80s synth-driven post-punk, they began building their sound and continually released EPs throughout 2020.

The band released their long-awaited debut album ‘Empire Falling’ in late 2023, with production and mixing predominantly carried out in-house by Kent, alongside additional mixing duties performed by Rob Aubrey (engineer for Sex Pistols/Big Big Train/Asia).

This year they have released two new singles ‘A Place On Earth’ and ‘Back To Life, both of which will feature on ‘Fragments’.

Discussing the tracks, Kent continued, “I was drawn by themes of modern alienation and emotional burnout – I hope these songs reflect a move from tension and despair toward something more hopeful. Piecing life back together, one step at a time.”
