FORTUNES. RELEASE UNDRESS EP OUT TODAY VIA FUTURE CLASSIC

The Melbourne-based, NZ-born R&B duo Fortunes. today release their Undress EP. Released via Future Classic, the EP is “characterised by their ability to integrate warmth and intimacy into electronic music as well as spark and vivacity to hip hop” and includes previously shared singles ‘501’s’ and ‘Focus’, along with two new tracks, ‘Linen’ and ‘Hero Man’. Conor McCabe and Barnaby Matthew of Fortunes. say, "We started out in a cold warehouse with a hat rack for a mic stand. Along the way we've learned a lot and since purchased a mic stand".
