About 'So Long'

Firstly, it's important to note that a debut EP is a significant milestone for any artist or band, as it marks the beginning of their musical career and sets the tone for what's to come. In the case of Fortnight in Florida, their EP "So Long" is a powerful introduction to their unique sound and style.

The EP features three tracks, each with its own distinct personality and message. The first track, "So Long," is a song about the struggle to pursue our dreams in a world that doesn't always make it easy. It's a poignant reminder that success often requires sacrifice and that the road to achieving our goals can be a long and difficult one.

The second track, "It's Alright" conveys a sense of vulnerability and regret and reflects on the damage that has been done in a relationship. The line "I hold my hands up and slip off my disguise" suggests a willingness to be transparent and genuine, even if it means exposing our flaws and weaknesses. Overall it is a moving and introspective song that encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities and strive for authenticity in their relationships

Finally, "Street Signs" is a reflective song that encourages the listener to take control of their lives and make mindful choices rather than simply following the signs without thought.

The EP was recorded in London at Snap! Studios in Manor House, which is known for its unique collection of vintage and modern recording equipment. Producer Laurence 'Loz' Anslow was behind the mixing desk, and his expertise can be heard in this creative and professional-sounding EP.

Overall, Fortnight in Florida's "So Long" EP is a strong debut that showcases the band's ability to craft meaningful and introspective songs while still delivering a catchy and engaging sound. With their blend of indie, pop, and rock influences, the band is sure to capture the attention of listeners looking for something fresh and unique in the music scene. It will be exciting to see where their journey takes them next...
