Forts - "The Chemist"

Alt-pop trio Forts go to dark places on their haunting new single "The Chemist." Lead singer Mary Clare (Mars) Clemons says that the song is her "way of personifying the nightmare that is PMDD, as a grotesque monster that my little chemist of a brain/body manages to conjure up… knowing how alone I’ve felt through it makes me feel like it’s kind of my duty to talk about it since it’s so often mistaken for regular depression. 1 in 20 women are affected by this, yet hardly anyone talks about it.” Her vocals are distorted and manipulated over a bed of booming drums and evocative synths.
