Fragile Self is Anil Aykan and Jonathan Barnbrook. A minimal electronic duo that creates elegant, dark electronic compositions within a pop structure. They make music that is dissonant, yet listenable taking the subconscious and extreme states of mind as subject matter. Barnbrook is already known for his artistic Grammy award-winning collaborations with David Bowie, whose total creative approach is shown in the attention to detail in their first self-titled album release. It has a tautly constructed beauty in the songs and highly experimental imagery for the packaging and associated visuals.
