Like splashing colors on canvas, Quarters Of Change combine sounds and vibes in fits of emotion. Anchored by a mutual predisposition for unpredictability, they 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.
Earning tastemaker praise, The Aquarian hailed them as “reviving alt rock,” and Sheesh professed, “Quarters of Change has mastered the New York rock resurgence in a way that is resonating with even the best of the best.” Not to mention, they enamored notable fans such as Joe Jonas, Lewis Capaldi, Chad Smith, and Fred Durst, to name a few. Nevertheless, the musicians opted to shake up the creative process.
Decamping to a house in Woodstock, NY for two weeks during early 2023, they collectively established the foundation for what would become the LP.
