Fort Not Announce Sophomore LP: Depressed for Success

When the Club is Open first dropped, I was really surprised it didn’t get all the traction that I thought Fort Not deserved; I’m hoping their new LP, Depressed for Success find a little bit more Internet love. One of the reasons I love the band is the way they embrace this light-hearted nature in their songwriting, both in the recording and the lyrical content. I mean, they take aim at “men” throughout the new single, despite being men themselves. But, the recording has its own identifiable charms, as if it was quickly thrown down on a four track as the two tossed back a few beers and regaled one another with stories. Now, just because it’s got that vibe, doesn’t mean you can’t feel the sincerity and the glorious hooks bobbing and weaving their way through the track’s gentle strums. If you like, grab Depressed for Success from Meritorio Records before it’s out on July 7th.
