Fogg lights the way

○○○○●

MR FOGG, a UK-born alt-pop artist pretty much unknown outside of Nordic Europe, blurs the edges between indie and electronica with his introductory EP Keep Your Teeth Sharp.
Sitting on pop's cutting edge, Mr Fogg fashions traditional singer songwriter fare from less-than-traditional building blocks of fuzzy electronics and subdued drum machines.
And on this EP the results are evocative and brooding, coming across as a kind of Get Cape. Wear Cape. Die. character.
On the evidence of Keep Your Teeth Sharp - made up of three excellent originals and an orchestral Olafur Arnalds title track remix - you should keep your eyes peeled for more from Mr Fogg.

  2. He's a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a cloud that is in contact with the ground.
