Meet the David Lynch of Music With Fracktura’s New Avant-Garde Album |Time: Machine|
Avant-garde band Fracktura are releasing their album |Time: Machine| on 21/03/25. The eclectic project draws from a wide range of influences, with its DNA reaching back to the extremes of American Jazz, Lynchian filmmaking, and alternative rock.
Although musical history runs deep in Fracktura’s veins, the band is proudly influenced by the fringes of all walks of art – modern dance, surrealism, expressionism, experimental film. Viewers can see their evidence in the music video for the album’s lead single I Hear The Wind (releasing 24/01/25) – directed by Brazilian rising director Diogo Oliveira.
Presented in striking black and white, a kinetic camera compliments Fracktura in the studio with tilted angles. The single pairs a discordant and jazz infused backing with the operatic vocals of Karis Tucker that challenges audiences to engage on a deeper level than commercial pop hits.
Despite Fracktura’s love of art cinema, their fact is much stranger than the screen’s fiction. The journey to |Time: Machine| has seen the band plagued with tragedy, armed robbery, cars destroying their studio, being revived from death, while also recording the score for Brazilian film legend Ruy Guerra’s movie Aos Pedacos (In Pieces).
|Time: Machine| is a grand experiment in the curation of atmosphere on an album. Beginning as musings on paintings and film, |Time: Machine| was made in collaboration with director Diogo Oliveira, and the result is music that sounds like a soundtrack for a grand film that unfortunately does not exist.
Audiences everywhere can listen to |Time: Machine| across all platforms 21/03/25.
