The Bogg's core is Jason Friedman, a talented multi-instrumentalist songwriter who employs a rotating entourage of musical guests and mainstays (current Boggs include Au Revoir Simone's Heather D'Angelo and Enont's Matt Scultz).

Over two years in the making, Forts follows on the unhurried heels of 2002's We Are The Boggs We Are and 2003's unreleased critics' darling Stitches. Forts' birthing process started on Friedman’s kitchen floor in Berlin before being brought to maturity in late 2006 at 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.
