  Will Johnson built to Fort Recovery over a decade - releasing an abundance of LPs between as Centro-matic, South San Gabriel, and under his own name. Fort Recovery streamlines his addled hard folk/rock; it's his most accessible and consistent record to date. It captures exhaustion, perseverance, and emotional bruising through huge guitars and deeply humane songwriting.Johnson writes cryptic lyrics about struggle that land emotionally more through feeling than literal meaning. Even the loudest moments feel worn rather than triumphant.
