Description
East London-based Australian singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fractures announces his third album, 'Next Summer'. Mixed by Simon Lam (Kllo, Armlock) and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Andrei Eremin, the album features collaborations with British talent including rising spoken-word artist Emmeline, Mancunian ambient producer Frameworks, and Nattica from Fickle Friends on the single 'Oh My'.
Speaking on the album, Fractures says: "There's no overarching theme to this album, not lyrically anyway. It's cobbled together like short diary entries of someone journeying through a sort of middling stasis in their life, a time of nothing particularly noteworthy, and that in itself provokes deeper and maybe darker introspection. I didn't feel like needlessly plugging holes with lyrics, just light dabs here and there, light and shade to complete the visual I pictured in my head. The through line of the album is more within the sonic palette. There's a murkiness, a sort of dust in the audio that is cast over every song. Nothing is entirely clean, but hopefully that makes it feel a bit more human."
'Next Summer' is designed as a start-to-finish experience, ebbing and flowing naturally, capturing Fractures' musical headspace and continuing the momentum from his breakout 2025 of collaborations, playlisting, radio plays, and live shows.
