“Introducing” focuses on something just added to the WOXY.com playlist that is not only new to our playlist, but new to WOXY.com in general. Today the spotlight is on the new album from The Boggs, titled, Forts. The album is out on record store shelves this week.

• The Boggs is a collaborative project led by Jason Friedman, who every few years collects different musicians to record an album as The Boggs.
• This is the third album for The Boggs, and the first since 2003’s Stitches.
• Current Boggs members include Matt Schultz (Enon), Sam Jayne (Love As Laughter) and Heather D’Angelo (Au Revoir Simone).

Here are some reviewers quotes about Forts.

• “Forts is a fiercely-felt testament to Friedman’s compositional virtuosity: a rickety trip at times, to be sure, but thrilling as a ride on a wood-frame rollercoaster” - Harp Magazine
• “The garage-rock-disco-rave meltdown sound of 2007,
  get acquainted or get lost!” - NME
• “…a curious album colored with strained dialogue and urgent poetry. The words in total giving the feeling that something nearby is in danger of breaking very soon. The music follows this striking haphazard path, crashing, jangling, pumping and bumping on its way to something bright and great.” - Filter
