Anchored by a mutual predisposition for unpredictability, Quarters of Change fuse together a signature hybrid of nineties-style alternative hooks, crunchy space rock soundscapes, and strutting seventies grooves. After piling up millions of streams, selling out shows, and inciting critical applause, the New York City quartet — Ben Acker \[guitar, bass, synths\], Attila Anrather \[drums\], Jasper Harris \[guitars, bass, synths\], and Ben Roter \[vocals, guitar\] — craft a rich exhibition of emotion on their aptly titled 2023 second full-length offering, Portraits \[300 Entertainment\]. "The album is made up of individualized fragments that provide different perspectives and create their own little vignettes," says Roter. "I think of each fragment as a portrait, reflecting a separate emotion or moment. Overall, it explores themes of addiction, isolation, and exploration. At the time, I was definitely writing about the present. By discussing what was happening in our lives, we're giving you honest everyday circumstances to latch onto." Presented by El Club. All ages
