Sound of Fractures returns with ‘Things Are Gonna Get Better’, a wonky and emotionally charged electronic release built around imperfect textures, chopped samples and lo-fi club influences.
Created by North London producer Jamie Reddington, the track sits somewhere between lo-fi house and alternative electronica, pulling influence from artists such as Daft Punk, Justice, The Avalanches and Jamie xx. Warm saturation, off-grid percussion and fragmented vocal sampling give the single a raw and human feel throughout, deliberately leaning away from polished electronic production.
Rather than functioning as straightforward club music, ‘Things Are Gonna Get Better’ feels designed as an emotional response to digital overload and constant modern noise. The arrangement embraces imperfection, allowing rough edges and subtle instability to become part of the listening experience rather than something cleaned away.
That approach reflects the wider philosophy behind Sound of Fractures. Reddington has consistently described his work as “emotional electronic music”, drawing heavily from real life experiences, memory, film, relationships and nostalgia. Influences from UK dance music, hip-hop, soul and artists including Massive Attack, Burial, Frank Ocean and MJ Cole continue shaping that identity.
Reflective, textured and deeply atmospheric, ‘Things Are Gonna Get Better’ feels less concerned with perfection and more interested in creating genuine emotional connection through sound.
