Anchored by a mutual predisposition for unpredictability, Quarters of Change fuse together asignature 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."
The group have always bottled the urgency of life-in-motion by writing and recording in a room
together face-to-face. They quietly broke through with a series of independent EPs and the fan
favorite "Kiwi," which cracked 10 million-plus streams and counting. In 2022, the guys picked up the
pace on their full-length debut, Into The Rift, boasting "T Love," "Jaded," and "Dead." They hit the
road with Bad Suns and impressively sold out their first-ever US headline tour. 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.
