about

The most varied but cohesive yet, "Fracture" lives up to its name in its palette of diversity, with a Krauty/folky/weirdy/unclassifiable mixture that really sizzles. This was one of the most intensive and productive of Extremities sessions - yes, we were on fire on 24/6/07! As always, Extremities may evoke lots of things, but the results are ultimately unlike anything. Enjoy the shock of the new!
