Fractures – Fractures

The easiest way to describe the Fractures sound is dark, alternative, pop rock.

Multi-instrumentalist Mark Zito plays and produces every element on the EP and creates a beautifully emotive, yet calm sound. Cadence is a prime example of this with its slow, heartbreaking melody melding seamlessly with silky bass guitar and higher, yet subtle, guitar notes.

Zito, however, isn’t confined to guitars and drums as he then introduces piano in It’s Alright to continue the tranquil mood before shifting gears with Twisted, which ups the tempo with a more pronounced drum and synth package.

A fantastic first release. (JA)
