Won’t Win
As usual, I was late to the party discovering Melbourne-based Fractures. His song Twisted subtly eased its way in, with quiet electric tones and persistent, heartfelt vocals as he cried “I’m lonely, I’m lonely!” Just another Friday night for me!
Won’t Win starts out as softly as Twisted but doesn’t strike out in the same way, and it’s oddly more affecting, reminding me a lot of Apparat’s shattered mood. Won’t Win plays out two games; one of chase, and one of blame: “You tell me you’re sorry, tell me you worry, tell me you found your faults. Then tell me I’m stubborn, tell me I smother,tell me I wrecked it all. Why are you waiting, watch us decaying, watch as the walls go thin.”
