Album Notes

FORTUNES OF MISFORTUNES
MICHAEL VAN LONDON



"Michael Van London is a gifted indie rocker/songwriter who sounds like an edgier Ryan Adams mixed in with quite a bit of old school Sonic Youth, mixed in with a dash of T. Rex."
-Steve Pep
(Queerty.com)

“While the original strategy was a high-profile team effort, Van London’s new approach is grassroots and self-driven. Taking inspiration from two of his musical idols, Aimee Mann and Juliana Hatfield.”
-TOM KIELISZEWSKI
(Frontiers Magazine)






Michael Van London’s new co, Fortunes of Misfortunes, blends blues, punk, rock, pop, jazz and side dish of insanity with a cherry on top.
Based in Los Angeles, California, Van London has lived and played his music across the globe, while he toured Western Europe he lived in Paris, to the dirty streets of New York City where he found his roots, to the brownstones and trolleys of Boston.
With Fortunes of Misfortunes, you can wear your jean jacket to the roller rink on a Saturday night, you can lock yourself up in a room to contemplate manipulation of the third degree and walk back out with justice.
This CD is made up of the thoughts and moments of a songwriter in the modern world.
