Fractal forms part of the strong scene in Tijuana, México and like many bands in TJ seem to pull from a wide range of genres to put together something that sounds reminiscent of things you've heard before but never in the same song, let alone in the same band. These folks are putting elements of hardcore punk right next to post-rock, and just when you thought you understood where they were going they toss in a ripping guitar solo. They seem to like to let the songs really play out (they're relatively long), which seems to give some sense to their swings from genre to genre, as though each one were a journey through the different emotions one might feel over the course of a week. I really have no clue how I feel about this band, but I do know they're good at their instruments and are worth listening to. As a first listen, I recommend Cuatro Miedos (which I think is the first song that plays on their bandcamp anyways).
