Flash forward. Flash back. Tune in New York, Germany, California, South Africa, the UK...

Moving across genres and borders as easily as a dial moving up and down the AM band, The Boggs have spent the past six years defining, refining, building up, and breaking down their take on proto post folk garage punk folk punk blues and disco. Founded in 2001, principle member Jason Friedman has kept the band moving through a number of incarnations, with time off for the occasional side endeavor--a move to Berlin to focus on a series of large scale drawings, for example, or directing a video for sometime tour-mates The Rapture.

"Nothing less than a sonic revelation." Magnet

Over two years in the making, the forthcoming album Forts follows on the unhurried heels of 2002's We Are The Boggs We Are and 2003's lost critics' darling Stitches. Forts' birthing process started on Friedman's kitchen floor in Berlin before being brought to maturity in late 2006 at New York's Gigantic Studios. As cartographers of the New Weird America before such a term came into marketing play, the Boggs have laid claim to territory well outside the usual indie imaginings and instead created a musical landscape that manages to be both achingly familiar and yet almost lunar in its strangeness--a field recording beamed in from a world in which boundaries and decades are irrelevant.
