O Fracas To Release Fits & Starts Album

O Fracas have been releasing one-off limited singles for a few years now, but thankfully after a few line-up changes, the band can finally offer their first album - 'Fits & Starts'.

Taking three years to complete, the twelve songs found on their debut effort were recorded with three different bass players in three separate studio sessions. The band were also close to calling it a day numerous times during this lengthy period.

Now on May 12th, the folks at I Can Count Records will present the record they are are describing as "a myriad of influences from afro-beat, to DC hardcore, jazz, folk and funk, that comes up with something wholly original and utterly unique."

You may be aware of some of the recordings already from previous O Fracas singles. The reason for this was instead of re-doing them, the band opted to compile them for a more natural approach.

"The songs were born of those relationships and dynamics at those times, re-recording them with a single line-up would have been to deny the very nature with which the band has operated since it's birth." Reads the group's press blurb.
