Anyone who has been following our website for a while will know that our love for Fractures is real. Granted, it is easy to become enraptured when every track the Melbourne local has released to date is pure gold. Last year we highlighted "Twisted" and "Cadence", two singles that showcase the undeniable talent that Mark Zito wields with ease, and now after an 8 month hiatus, we are treated to a brand new single with "Won't Win". Fractures is an artist that possesses enviable musical dexterity. Each release exhibits a sound that demonstrates exploration and growth, all the while remaining distinctly his own. This latest single sees Mark becoming more comfortable with his voice as the synths and guitars are muted, allowing his unfaltering vocal track to take centre-stage. This is a convention that also works thematically when listening to Fractures' back catalogue. The vocal track on "Cadence" is enveloped by swelling synth arrangements and pronounced percussion that reflect the helpless feelings of someone who cannot free their minds from someone they have lost. Without this restraint, Mark's vocals on "Won't Win" enforce the line drawn in the sand, a declaration that he won't take it anymore as he sings "You won't win, I'll rid myself of this war you started... got a pulse, but you seem so heartless". With "Won't Win", Fractures has another astonishing single to add to his already impressive repertoire. This new single will also feature on his debut EP which will be out on July 4th. Australian readers can head over to Fractures' iTunes page now to pre-order the EP and you will receive an instant download of "Won't Win" for your trouble. Trust us when we say that this is one release you will not want to miss!
