Introducing Fracktura, an avant-garde band poised to make a profound impact with the release of their latest album, ‘Time: Machine’, available on 21/03/25. This album represents a meticulous exploration of sound, drawing deeply from an array of influences including the iconic styles of Frank Zappa, the intricate compositions of King Crimson, and the innovative artistry of Bjork.
‘Time: Machine’is a carefully constructed work that channels the disparate elements of American jazz, the moody narratives of Lynchian cinema, and the defiant spirit of alternative rock. Fracktura extends its artistic reach beyond music alone, incorporating the bold gestures of modern dance, the intense emotions of expressionism, and the dreamlike qualities of surrealism. The lead single, “I Hear The Wind,” set for release on 24/01/25, offers a glimpse into this multifaceted project. Directed by emerging Brazilian filmmaker Diogo Oliveira, the accompanying music video presents a striking monochromatic vision with dynamic camera work, capturing the band in moments of creative intensity.
The single itself is an intricate composition, blending dissonant jazz elements with the commanding operatic voice of Karis Tucker. This piece challenges listeners to engage meaningfully, transcending the superficial allure of contemporary pop music.
Fracktura’s journey to ‘Time: Machine’| has been marked by extraordinary challenges and events, including facing personal tragedies, surviving an armed robbery, enduring the destruction of their studio, and even cheating death. These experiences add a layer of authenticity and depth to their music. Amid these trials, the band also composed the score for Aos Pedacos (In Pieces), the latest project by esteemed Brazilian film director Ruy Guerra.
‘Time: Machine’ aspires to be a comprehensive auditory experience, an atmospheric opus that feels as if it accompanies a grand yet nonexistent film. Crafted in collaboration with director Diogo Oliveira, this album is designed to evoke a sense of cinematic grandeur. Audiences will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Fracktura’s innovative creation across all major platforms beginning on 21/03/25
