Emerging as virtuosos of the avant-garde music scene, Fracktura is set to unveil their highly anticipated album, |Time: Machine|, on March 21, 2025. This forthcoming release is poised to immerse listeners in a unique auditory experience, blending influences from the intricate worlds of American Jazz, Lynchian film artistry, and the edginess of alternative rock.
Fracktura’s artistry transcends traditional musical boundaries, embodying a rich confluence of diverse artistic inspirations. Their creative vision extends beyond music to embrace modern dance, surrealism, expressionism, and experimental cinema. These eclectic influences are masterfully integrated into the music video for the album’s lead single, “I Hear The Wind,” scheduled for release on January 24, 2025. Directed by the innovative Brazilian filmmaker Diogo Oliveira, the video employs dynamic black-and-white cinematography with angular shots that vividly convey Fracktura’s artistic essence.
Musically, “I Hear The Wind” showcases the band’s extraordinary talent, merging discordant jazz elements with the powerful operatic vocal stylings of Karis Tucker. This piece challenges listeners to engage in a profound auditory experience, far removed from the conventional allure of commercial pop.
Fracktura’s path to |Time: Machine| has been as remarkable as their music, marked by a series of dramatic and challenging events including armed robbery and an incident that saw their studio damaged by a car. Despite these setbacks, the band has demonstrated resilience and creativity, contributing their musical genius to the score of esteemed Brazilian director Ruy Guerra’s film, Aos Pedacos (In Pieces).
|Time: Machine| is envisioned as an intricate soundscape, originally conceived as an exploration of paintings and film. This project is the result of a creative collaboration with director Diogo Oliveira, culminating in a sonic masterpiece reminiscent of a cinematic score for an as-yet-unrealized film.
Scheduled for release on all major streaming platforms come March 21, 2025, |Time: Machine| invites audiences to experience Fracktura’s exceptional talent and their innovative approach to music as an art form.
