""I don't know
what to do with do nothing days", sings Fog's Andrew Broder,
surrounded by a shambling, jerrybuilt music that actually
must have kept him occupied a long while. Last heard with
Anticon's Yoni Wolf in side-project Hymie's Basement, the
Minneapolis native's bodged tracks are the equivalent of
Napoleon Dynamite's hybrid animal, the "liger", with beats
that kick like a flogged mule. He also breathes in the wrong
places, while catching you off guard with an arresting phrase
- Paddy McAloon cast as a vagrant in a Gus Van Sant movie."

"Quirky pop jem from the minnesotan
enigma who doesn't wear purple. Andrew 'Fog' Broder loves
to throw his audience a curveball. From the adventures in
wonky turntablism on his difficult but often dazzling debut,
through the piano-led experimentation of Ether Teeth to mutant
hip-hop/college rock crossover on Hymie's Basement (his excellent
2003 collaboration with Anticon MC Jonathan 'Why?' Wolf),
each record has proclaimed a new direction before finishing
up somewhere completely different. 10th Avenue Freakout sets
out it's stall with a euphoric swirl of Salvation Army trumpet,
then marches straight into retrospective futurism of mordant
stylophone rhapsody We're Winning. By the time the album
ends in a full-on industrial free-jazz freakout you'll either
be totally lost or suspecting this man might be a genius."
