SOUND OF FRACTURES - "REAL FRIENDS"

Drawing from the same kind of highly emotional UK Garage / lo-fi house as Ross From Friends, DJ Poolboi and Fred Again, Sound of Fractures absolutely nails the sense of uplifting nostalgia found in those projects with “Real Friends”. The title track from the EP of the same name, the EP is fixated on, “deftly blending cinematic and atmospheric indie electronica with sounds spanning UK garage, synthwave and experimental electronica, the 4-track ‘Real Friends’ EP is a sonic exploration of emotional connection drawing from experimental, and lo-fi electronic music. It conveys the emotions of growing up; the challenges, the enchanting highs, and the moments that shape us for life.”

The cinematic qualities on “Real Friends” is quite strong. With every muted synth, ghostly sample or key change our mind is encouraged to drift off a bit beyond the page and recall moments when we realized we were with real friends.
