Fractures - Next Summer *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 20th March 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

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.

Speaking on the album, Fractures says: "it's a time capsule. It's where my head wanted to be musically at that point in time, and naturally it'll set me on a path to whatever's next".
