FOG NEW ALBUM

'DITHERER' OUT NOW WORLDWIDE

Fog's latest album is out now and it's their most accessble and confident work to date.

Developing from a starting point of frontman Andy Broder's own-grown sound of lo-fi experimentality, Fog have now evolved into a three-man band, blasting out full-on rock tracks but still staying true to their foundations.

Epic guitars, twisted electronics and some of the most inventive and memorable lyrics of any album in recent memory. Check what the critics have to say:

 

"Superb... latterday Radiohead" **** Mojo

"Ceaselessly inventive rock experimentation... the closest comparison is Kid A era Radiohead. Nice." - Q Magazine

"Fog deserve to be talked of in the same hushed tones as The Flaming Lips or Arcade Fire... Ditherer is a thrilling distillation of their talents, full of anthemic soundscapes, post-millennial culture angst, strange time shifts, clashing scales and a curiously 90s post-hardcore guitar sound" - Time Out

It's been described by an Italo-loving electronic music expert at Vice magazine as "Amazing - It's like he's written the soundtrack to my thoughts."

In a recent interview, Boom Bip said "I Figured a lot of fans would consider it a departure from what I usually do - this is happy, danceable and seems sugar coated... Sacrilege to purist Boom Bip fans plus artificial sweetner Saccharin. Together... well you get it."

This is Boom Bip's first solo record in quite a while as he's been busy producing Bus Driver's latest album and the Neon Neon project with Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals. DJ Magazine in the UK described it as 'an amazing comeback'.

This UK duo only started working together recently but are already getting hellattention on UK national radio and with good reason...

Thou shalt Always Kill is a highly personal, potentially controversial but always spot-on blast of commandments for a better world, somewhere between spoken word, rap and biblical brimstone over lo-fi electronic production. Both the download and the very limited edition 7" (out 16th April) include a remix by electro-punisher Knifehandchop, however the download bundle also features the darker, narrative electro masterpiece Angles.

BOOM BIP SACCHRILEGE EP / TOUR

Boom Bip is back with a super-hot new EP in which he develops some of the harder, faster electro themes that have appeared throughout his previous albums.

Punchy beats and lush melodies that are trademarks of Bip's sound remain steadfast, however the influences of perhaps even 80s Italo prog-soundtrackers such as Goblin creep into the uptempo synth lines and there's more than a hint of grimey percussive baseline to guarantee dancefloor action. These are 5 tracks of the highest calibre and we can't wait until release date.

Sacchrilege will be available as 12" and digital download from 23rd April to coincide with Bip's European tour- UK (including Tryptich in Scotland), France, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Italy and Russia. For more information on his live schedule, CLICK HERE.
