All the Saints - Intro to Fractions

Intro to Fractions, the new album from Atlantan three-piece All the Saints, offers a melding of mellow guitar with heavy rock drums, yielding an invigorating yet relaxing 35 minutes of music separated into 12 bite-sized tracks for easy digestion.

Some four years since the release of Fire on Corridor X, the trio's debut, singer and guitarist Matt Lambert explains the extra thought that went into the compositions that made the Intro to Fractions shortlist.

"There wasn't much room for repeating ourselves - you can bury your instruments, your words, in effects forever, but eventually you'll have to say something," he says.

With Intro to Fractions, the group have made a strong return that is rich in a sense of their musical origins - recorded at numerous studios throughout the Atlanta area, and with the help of stalwarts of the local music scene.

All The Saints - Half Red, Half Way

The new All The Saints album, Intro to Fractions, is due out on January 30th 2012, but you can get a sneak preview - and a free download - right here, with the album opener Half Red, Half Way.



And head to the Souterrain Transmissions SoundCloud page to download Half Red, Half Way for free.

It's a moody and atmospheric composition, and hints at a grunge-filled album to come in the new year. And while this is just one track, it's an unpredictable one right through to the dying moments, which makes for enjoyable (if noisy) listening.

We'll be keeping a watchful eye on this one, so look out for the full album review in January - and more track previews if we can get our hands on them!
