"Stay Magical" was recorded in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York surrounded by nature and all things fun. The endless inspiration found in this environment can be heard in every aspect of this album, from the peaceful sounds of nature between the tracks, to the lyrical content, and instrumental composition. All four seasons are captured and showcased throughout "Stay Magical"; the birds singing at dawn in the spring, crickets chirping on hot summer nights, wind chimes sparkling in the fall, and the crackling comfort of the fireplace in winter. The writing and recording process spanned the time of three years, as Fort Vine carefully crafted and nurtured this project, discovering the depth of meaning in each song; a common theme and metaphor woven through the entire listening experience.
Fort Vine's debut album, "One In The Same" was recorded in the tiny corners of the Big Apple. It was fully funded by Fort Vine's fans and is a true expression of the love and sharing that exists in the world. The Indie-rock album ranges from smooth mindful poetry to robust rocking ballads with a crisp live feel.
"On Holiday" is Fort Vine's ode to being relaxed on vacation, looking up at the stars at night, and feeling connected to the cosmic energy all around.
