Band history

Van Pelt, a member of the band Think About Life, recorded all of the music himself for five songs, and then self-released an EP, Watery Grave. In 2007, he released a debut album Five Roses under the name Miracle Fortress, on Secret City Records.[2][3] The album received positive reviews,[4] and was included on the shortlist for the 2007 Polaris Music Prize,[5] which was ultimately won by Patrick Watson.[6][7] Van Pelt recruited drummer Jordan Robson-Cramer of Sunset Rubdown and Magic Weapon, guitarist Jessie Stein of SS Cardiacs and The Luyas, and keyboardist Adam Waito of Telefauna to adapt Five Roses into a live show.[8] This group made a cross-Canada tour in 2007.[9] Nathan Ward, Adam Waito and Jessie Stein also took part in some of the shows.[10]

The style of the band's single, "Maybe Lately", was compared by critics to that of the Beach Boys.[11][12]

Miracle Fortress' third album, Was I the Wave? was released in April 2011.[1] It was musically quite different from the previous album, with simpler instrumentation and more rhythm.[5][13] The album won a GAMIQ Award for Electronic Album of the Year.[14]

In 2014, Van Pelt continues to release music as Miracle Fortress.[15]
