FRIC/TION is an album that feels like someone kicking open a door that used to be politely knocked on. It is less like a collection of songs and more like a pressure system moving through different emotional climates. Sparks against steel. Skin against memory. Want against resistance.
16 artists contributed their artistry, energy, and expertise to the evolution of FRIC/TION.
