Since their inception in 2011, Nightmare Fortress has kept KEXP under a spell. Today, we're excited to bring you an exclusive premiere of the Seattle band's dark debut full-length, The Wanted, self-released next Tuesday, May 12th.
Famed local producer Erik Blood (Shabazz Palaces, THEESatisfaction, Crypts) takes their dancefloor darkwave to new heights.
