PŁYTA NOWA, ZAFOLIOWANA
Since the release of his second album Eleven in 2012 ("Stunning" – Dazed & Confused, "Brilliant" – NME), Mr Fogg has continued to tread an unconventional path. In 2014 he spent several months working behind the scenes on the development of Thom Yorke's BitTorrent experiment, recorded a duet with the singing comet 67P and unveiled a previously unheard collaboration with Under The Skin composer Micachu. Youth - a response to the death of his father in 2012 - is a departure from the electronic wizardry of Fogg's previous two studio albums, drawing as it does almost entirely on natural instrumentation, spaces and sounds. String quartet, flugelhorn and organ are translated faithfully onto record from a series of churches and found spaces and embellished by the rhythms of timpani and tuning forks. At its core, however, this is an album that puts its faith in bold, expansive songwriting
