MR FOGG – STAY OUT OF THE SUN
Released 28th February 2012

Words: Charlie Wallis

Reading local ‘Mr Fogg’ has been gradually making a name for himself since first appearing on the scene in 2005 with his own brand of ambient electronic music. This latest offering sees him collaborating with producer Valgeir Sigursson who has worked with the likes of Bjork and Kate Nash. 

Latest single ‘Stay Out of the Sun’ is in itself an interesting beast as I found it hard to know what to make of it at first. What starts out as a fairly generic electronica track, starts to build into something much more satisfying. Whilst musically there’s nothing overwhelmingly impressive the atmosphere is well sculpted and the syncopated rhythms are well thought through.  For me there’s arguably something missing, however.This is clearly a solid track but that left the repetitive melodies did little to leave a lasting impact.
