Along with The Red Season, Fortune & Spirits was formed of the ashes of indie pop/jazz sextet nothing plural.

Founded in 2007 through a partnership of producer/solo artist Jim Robert and drummer Matthew Record the group eventually grew to include a full rock band setup and string section.

Fortune & Spirits has from it's inception been writing songs for an eponymous debut album to be released on Mixtake Records. Band member Matthew Record stated in an interview on Radio J - Music for the Scene that the group has set a goal to have a catalog of at least 30-40 songs which would be wittled down to no more than 10 for the debut record.
