Fog - For Good

Review by Aidan Reynolds

The most focused Fog has ever sounded»

After nearly a decade, Fog is back. Andrew Broder's project has been tough to trace, leaving a trail of acclaimed albums, each considerably different than the last, on notable electronic labels before disappearing like its namesake. But 'For Good' is as much a return to what the Minneapolis auteur does best - piano, turntables, and voice caught up in a gorgeously taut swirl - as it is a foray into music without precedent: digital soundscapes seamlessly wed to guitar, bass, drums, violin, sax, and synths. It's the sad / pretty pop of Antony and the Johnsons, Bon Iver, or Julia Holter spliced with the new noise of Arca, Shabazz Palaces, and Oneohtrix Point Never. Broder flexes his knack for better mood-building through collaboration and collage. LP - With Download.
