Crooked Fingers will release their fifth LP titled Forfeit/Fortune. Forfeit/Fortune features the fullest and most eclectic orchestration on a Crooked Fingers release to date, enlisting an all-star cast of players to perform. Brian Kotzer (Silver Jews) lent his talents to the project in Nashville, while Tom Hagerman (Devotchka) laid down string parts in Denver. Frequent Crooked Fingers touring mate Neko Case sang the brilliant album-closing duet "Your Control" with Bachmann in Tucson. Bachmann, a noted composer in his own right, wrote and arranged the string and horn parts on the record.
