Cape Town Indie Folk Rock band, Fractals, have released their debut record, “Part One”, through Mountainside Records, with songs featured on Spotify editorial playlists “Chilled Vibes”, “New Music Friday South Africa” and “SAlt”, as well as Apple Music editorial playlist “Mzansi Indie”.
The Fractals band is composed of three members who came together out of friendship and instinctive music-making. Jonathan Stephen Simons on melody guitar, songwriting and lead vocals, Ray Adam Morgan on drums, percussion and harmonies, and Stephen de Souza on bass, strings and harmonies.
Musicians who contributed to the record include; Liam McDermott (lead guitar and harmonies), Tim Welsh (saxophone), Jono Prest (trumpet), Lezaam Beets (trombone), and Jonathan’s sister, Amy Brand (violin and ukulele). The record was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jonathan Simons and released through his independent label, Mountainside Records.
“Part One” is – as the title suggests – the first chapter of the ambitious journey of a versatile band with a strong character. Listening to Fractals ‘music is a truly emotional journey of crying, laughing and dancing’ – everything that defines a person. With strong indie sounds mixed with world music and a South African influence “Part One” is something really unique.
