HEX unveils Fraction, the first single from their upcoming album on HUMUS RECORDS (2025)
With Fraction, HEX opens a new chapter in their sonic journey. As the first glimpse of their forthcoming 2025 release on HUMUS, this slow-burning and sinuous track evokes a dark, cinematic trance, where oppressive crescendos lead to rare outbursts of raw intensity. Think Pixies immersed in a bath of No Wave—a hallucinatory romanticism where sound threatens to overwhelm the senses.
Fraction was born as an inward drift, carrying the marks of a haunted youth, between false brightness and unspoken truths. Its fractured structure mirrors its spectral, incantatory lyrics, where love, fear, and loss merge into a language of shadows.
The track retains HEX’s radical identity: tense rhythms, abrasive guitars, and relentless synths. Yet it also signals a shift—more direct, more nuanced, more lyrical. The vocal interplay between Léa Martinez and Alex Muller Ramirez, moving between whispers and dramatic ascents, perfectly captures the tension between vulnerability and defiance.
Fraction is a modern elegy, an act of resistance—the dream of broken hopes from which one never fully wakes.
