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".

Along with the release of the EP tracks came accompanying remixes for ‘501’s’ from Salute and Dai Burger and a tongue-in-cheek video, produced and directed by Nima Nabili Rad. Watch it here.
This is the third EP from the pair who first met at High School in New Zealand and reconnected at a Melbourne house party. After independently releasing their 2015 Hoodie EP and early 2016’s Jacket EP, Fortunes. went on to sign to Future Classic, embark on their debut headline Australian tour, support the likes of Alunageorge, Shlohmo and Lapsley and play at festivals such as Laneway Festival, Splendour In the Grass, BigSound, Paradise Music Festival and more.
