Carol Jenkins was just 21 years old when she was stabbed and killed in 1968 while selling encyclopedias in the former sundown town of Martinsville, Indiana. For three decades, the murder mystery sat cold in police files, void of justice. Carol’s death prompted generations of fear and warnings for African Americans throughout Central Indiana and among students passing through Martinsville en route to Indiana University in Bloomington. Martinsville became known nationally as a racist community that refused to believe Carol’s death was the result of a hate crime. In 2001, investigative reporter Sandra Chapman exposed police missteps and prompted a break in the case when an unexpected child witness called Chapman with a shocking revelation: “If the girl had a yellow scarf and was killed with a screwdriver, my father could be the killer.” For the first time in three decades, there was an arrest. But who was the accomplice? Now, 50 years after Carol’s death, family members reveal what they know to Chapman, and the rural communities where Carol lived and died face a reckoning with race relations as the nation grapples with cultural sensitivities.

Fruition’s newest album, Broken at the Break of Day, shines a light on all five members of the band, whether it’s on the traded lead vocals of “Dawn” or the irresistible rhythms of “Where Can I Turn.” As it’s been for more than a decade, their sound is hard to define, but the songwriting and the harmonies tie their diverse influences together.
Although it’s a challenge to categorize, the seven-song album feels whole because of the band’s dedication to honesty as well as harmony. The Portland, Oregon-based band is composed of Jay Cobb Anderson (electric guitar, vocals), Kellen Asebroek (piano, acoustic guitar vocals), Jeff Leonard (bass), Mimi Naja (mandolin, electric guitar, vocals) and Tyler Thompson (drums). Broken at the Break of Day, recorded in Thompson’s basement in between tour dates, follows the band’s exceptional 2019 album, Wild as the Night.
