Saying that Fort Lean is a band to keep an eye on in the coming year would probably be an understatement and, based on the buzz they’ve been generating (as a favorite at CMJ and in profiles by NYtimes, Spin and others), it feels like a syllogism at this point. I caught their set at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday where they debuted two new tracks, opening for Deleted Scenes and Bear Hands. And it was boldly jaw-dropping in a very why-haven’t-I-heard-this-before way.
