"Miracle
Fortress (led by Graham Van Pelt) is the judge, jury, and
executioner-writing, performing, producing, and engineering an entire
album-it's particularly fascinating. Miraculous, even." - BULLETT
Montreal-based musician and producer Miracle Fortress (aka Graham Van Pelt) has unveiled a new video for the song "Possession", the first in the series of the bonus singles he has offered for free this year.
"Director Tim Kelly
has painted a stirring portrait of a young and real Montreal family
on the verge of a new life, lovingly framed in an austere panorama of
the city itself," says Van Pelt of the video, "In my opinion he's
nailed the song, its feel and intention perfectly." "Possession" is part of the unique content Miracle Fortress has been offering, followed by two original tracks, "Seabird" and "Tropic of Canada from a collection of unreleased material Van Pelt wrote simultaneously while writing his sophomore album, Was I the Wave? Lauded by Pitchfork, Stereogum, NYLON, XLR8R and Exclaim! among others the album is available now on Secret City Records (Diamond Rings, Plants and Animals).
Van Pelt worked on a great deal of material during the three year lapse Was I the Wave? and his Polaris-Prize nominated debut, Five Roses. He will continue to release new tracks and remixes as the band tours the globe behind their latest album. Following up a set of late summer European tour dates Miracle Fortress will return to North America this week for CMJ Music Marathon, Halifax Pop Explosion, and will head back overseas in December for an additional string of European dates.
