Indie pop label Fortuna POP! is to shutter.
The imprint was formed in 1995 by Sean Price, and has steadfastly flown the flag for indie pop and other awkward post-punk sounds for two decades.
Fashions come and go, but Fortuna POP! really seemed to stand for something – whether it was a sound, or a broader ethos, the label has some steadfast fans, many of whom have taken to social media to express their sorrow.
The news was delivered in typically classy fashion – a full page statement in the programme for this weekend's Indietracks festival.
So @fortunapop is finishing after 20 glorious years. Thanks so much Sean for all your support for Indietracks. pic.twitter.com/32qMbW42nM
