WHAT IT IS: The five gentlemen who bring the Brooklyn-based, pop-leaning rock group to life met while attending Wesleyan University. Fort Lean has released two EPs and has played alongside bands like HAIM, Future Islands, Passion Pit and Surfer Blood. They then got to work, recording their debut full-length. Quiet Day is a collision of moods and tones, approachable and ambitious but delivered with a sideways subtlety.
