The Boggs: Forts LP
![]()
Moving across genres and borders as easily as a dial moving up and down the AM band, The Boggs spent seven years defining, refining, building up, and breaking down with a one of a kind take on proto-post-folk-garage-punk-folk-punk-blues & disco.
Before their third (and final?) release, Forts, principle member Jason Friedman retreated to Berlin where he began demos using roughshod recording techniques in his kitchen. Over the next year and a half, Friedman added fresh layers to these tracks in a series of Berlin studios. Bringing in horn players, singers, and string players to apply the finishing touches before hauling the stacks of tracks back from Europe to mix in New York. As obsessive, delicate, and other worldly as Friedman's own drawings used on the album's cover, Forts is the kind of record that record collections were made for. |
