ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Broder began making eccentric music as Fog and hooked up with the British label Ninja Tune. Born in Minneapolis, MN, where he continued to reside, Broder turned to music as an escape from the outside world. He confined himself to his basement and learned several instruments while simultaneously taking an interest in the escapist aspects of hip-hop. Eventually, after growing ill and dropping out of school, Broder dedicated himself to music, crafting eccentric tracks that were rooted in hip-hop but integrated numerous other elements...[more]

 

 

Andrew Broder crafted 10th Avenue Freakout as a rhythmic, up-front electronic-pop album, much less pensive and subdued than Fog's previous full-length, Ether Teeth. His impeccable sense of pop spontaneity -- tremendous hooks sprinkled in among intense, droning atmospherics and lucid, loosely built drum machine lines -- is still very present, albeit far more out in the open and crisply produced, allowing for more standard songcraft and much less downtime. Broder's twisted and often ab   [ read more ]

Fog started out as the project name of Andrew Broder, part of the continuum of bedroom-ensconced D.I.Y. savants making dense, loopy albums with a variety of electronic instruments. But in the course of the intervening half-decade, Broder has slowly introduced more traditional instruments into his previously sample-based work, and after several albums balanced awkwardly between electronica, turntablism (among his other affiliations, Broder is sort of an adjunct member of the Anticon stab   [ read more ]

'Ether Teeth' Fog's second LP, is, in his own words, 'a heavy-headed hopeful opus, an urban vaudevillian symphony about birds, war, mystery, jealousy, old tyme dudes and most importantly, L-O-V-E.' This album finds Fog both expanding the range of his sound and becoming more focussed in his approach. Andrew feels that, this time around, his vision of a collison of turntables, piano, poetry, and god knows what else are fully realized.

Fog starts out as a spoken word and synthesizer melange, then segues to "Smell of Failure" ("I get this whiff in my nose sometimes," says Andrew Broder aka Fog, "Like a burning smell/It's the smell of failure"), which is a feedback-ensconced series of vocoder reps. At "Pneumonia" the album slows to a Neil Young-inspired dirge, then switches to scratches and samples. Surprises are around every turn. "Check Fraud" features rudimentary Japanese flute, sound effects, and lilting {\flamen   [ read more ]
