Fractal Sextet’s Sky Full Of Hope well reviewed on Exposé Music Newsletter.

New review today: "One could make a plausible argument that this all started back around 2010 or so with guitarist and composer Stephan Thelen’s band Sonar, a band which we covered extensively at every step along the way, and which still is active to this day. Then came other projects, like Thelen’s Fractal Guitar trilogy and the remixes thereof, which could be seen as leading to the formation of the Fractal Sextet..." http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/fractal-sextet-sky-full-of-hope-3.html

Fractal Sextet's Sky Full Of Hope well reviewed on Big Takeover Magazine

"The album simply sounds great, whether or not we really understand what’s happening in the mix. That’s a delicate tension to pull off, but Fractal Sextet handles it beautifully on Sky Full of Hope"

(Thanks to Michael Toland)

Imaginative, accessible, and exciting, Fractal Sextet, the 2022 eponymous debut from the band formed to tour guitarist/composer Stephan Thelen’s Fractal Guitar records, seemed to bring its creator’s vision of blending minimalism, space rock, psychedelia, progressive rock, and old school electron...
