Intro To Fractions

VINYL FORMAT. Intro to Fractions works within simple parameters; to examine a ruminative idea over an extended duration, feverishly taunting every gradation from each texture. Suspended on the fringes are lingering melodies forged from the burgeoning tension of three men displaced within their own lives. In the Spring of 2009, with an air of momentum surrounding a recent acquisition by Touch and Go Records, All the Saints began giving form to ideas translucent, but not transparent to what would later become Intro to Fractions. Recorded at a variety of studios across greater-Atlanta with a certain sense of nomadic pride and assistance from local stalwarts Mike Wright and Cyrus Shahmir, Intro to Fractions bestows upon the listener exactly how much more thoughtful All the Saints have become in their approach since 2008's debut, Fire on Corridor X.

Weaved into the DNA of Intro to Fractions are ever so often respites of escapism that keep the pace of the album dynamic and strengthen the cumulative impact of the other impatiently unfolding compositions. The unwieldy minute-long eruption of drums and yelps, "Danger Flowers," and the cosmic sulking guitar strums of "4H Trip" never overstay their welcome, but certainly compliment the doomed voyage.
