Fortuna

A 10 track leftfield/idm album (49m 26s) — released March 29th 2010 on Poor Records

Fortuna is Kid Chocolat, The Knack and VJ Oil. For their first album the trio have teamed up with Italian actress Asia Argento. Dark and lecherous - on the dancefloor, the musical world of Fortuna echoes like these two words: it is scheming, magnetic and hypnotic. No wonder Fortuna's biggest fan is Asia Argento. So much so that she couldn't resist adding her voice to five tracks for this, their forthcoming debut album.
