    Rarely has the Inferno sounded this inviting.
  2. Village Voice

    Nearly embarrassing levels of enthusiasm, sincerity, and energy inform Fort Nightly, the band's surprisingly meaty debut.

    Pick of the bunch is 'March of the Camels,' which marries a doomy baseline with children's choir backing vocals, and exemplifies their gift for the surreal. [Apr 2008, p.117]

    Fort Nightly has some strong moments, but much of it is hit and miss. [Summer 2007, p. 86]

    Really really really great album. Even more impressive that it's a debut. These guys have a well formed sound and I look forward to seeing where they go in the future.… Expand

    A unique and inventive album! I found myself waking up the next morning, singing refrains in my head. The music is meaty yet playful. I would highly recommend!… Expand

    Very solid debut. nearly as good as Spoon's new record, and I only make the comparison because they have a similar sound.
