Roller Trio - Fracture

Review by Brian McGee

Fracture, the sophomore album by British jazz fusion group Roller Trio, showcases an impressive blend of intricate melodies, complex rhythms, and virtuosic performances. The album features ten tracks that span various genres, including jazz, rock, and experimental music.

The opening track, "The Nail That Sticks Out," sets the tone for the album with its frenetic energy and intricate guitar riffs. It is followed by "Abyss," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the band's ability to create atmospheric soundscapes. "Mad Dryad" is a standout track that combines heavy rock riffs with jazz improvisation, while "Tracer" features a funky groove that is sure to get listeners moving.

Throughout the album, the band members - James Mainwaring on saxophone and electronics, Luke Wynter on guitar, and Luke Reddin-Williams on drums - demonstrate their exceptional musicianship and tight interplay. The compositions are complex and challenging, yet they never lose their sense of groove and melody.

About Roller Trio

British jazz-rock trio, who formed whilst studying at Leeds College of Music in 2011. In 2012 Their eponymous debut studio album was nominated for the Mercury Prize alongside a nomination for the band as "Best Jazz Act" at the MOBO Awards that year. In performance, John Fordham of The Guardian described their preview gig for the Mercury prize "the same wild insouciance that has made their sound a howl of fresh air". DJ and broadcaster Gilles Peterson described their music as "Dark, menacing, bass heavy the new sound of UK jazzzzzzz!". They are known for their "epic memorably singalong melody hooks and blistering riffs". In May 2017, the band reformed with TrioVD and Acoustic Ladyland guitarist Chris Sharkey replacing Luke Wynter; Their third album was released in June 2018 on Edition Records.
