Fog, Fog
Featured Album
Eccentric not-quite-hip-hop that refuses to sit still
Fog (aka Minneapolitan Andrew Broder) is sort of like an American Four Tet: both are hip to hip-hop and indie rock and create intriguing textures and ambience out of the resulting amalgam. But where Four Tet is committed to standard notions of beauty, Fog creates frostbitten atmospheres from his turntable and dots this tundra with fragments of spare guitar noise. “And Stay Out,” a song about trying to fit in with the hip-hop scene, is representative of the Fog sound: beginning with elegaic piano chords, an Alberta Clipper of a scratch and a dusty, whining test tone, Broder sings in the most perfect of indie voices, “We’ve been trespassing but now we’re through.”
