Fort Not Release Tell Me Nothing Single

Leave a comment

The pending release from Fort Not is high on my list of anticipated albums coming our way in July; I’ve loved their approach to songwriting, taking on all sorts of approaches in their interpretation of guitar pop. Their latest single hits me somewhere in the realm of the Clean and Hunx; it has a distinctive vibe that feels supremely haphazard and DIY, but even in that, you can’t deny the joy that hits you when it comes through your speakers. Playful and carefree, with perfect execution and little touches (see 2:20 mark) that elevate the tune. Depressed for Success is going to hit on July 7th via Meritorio Records.

Fort Not Share Love Will Find You

When we heard the first track from the forthcoming Fort Not LP, you could feel summer approaching in the vibes on “Scum.” Now, with their latest single, it almost feels like the sweltering summer temperatures are surrounding us. There’s still the same sort of off-kilter pop sentimentality, but the mood seems slower, allowing the track to blow across your living room like a gentle breeze from your wall unit AC. You’ll find some garage pop meets psychedelia in here, but mostly feels like hanging your feet into the pond at the edge of the dock. Look for their new LP, Depressed for Success, on Meritorio Records on July 7th.

Fort Not Announce Sophomore LP: Depressed for Success

One comment

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.
