    Fog started out as the project name of Andrew Broder, part of the continuum of bedroomensconced DIY savants making dense, loopy albums with a variety of electronic instruments. But in the course of the intervening halfdecade, Broder has slowly introduced more traditional instruments into his previously samplebased work, and after several albums balanced awkwardly between electronica, turntablism (among his other affiliations, Broder is sort of an adjunct member of the Anticon stable of underground hiphoppers) and psychedelia, Fog is now a fullon, oldfashioned indie rock trio. Finally recording with a stable lineup that includes bassist Mark Erickson and drummer Tim Glenn, Broder has turned Ditherer into a sort of summation of everything Fog has been in the past, thereby clearing the decks for the trio's future. Tracks like "Inflatable Ape, Part 3," with its halfrapped vocal cadences, postpunk guitar shards and motorik beat, are fourminute tours through Broder's back catalogue. Guests i...ncluding Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker of Low, similarly eclectic multiinstrumentalist Andrew Bird and Anticon's Why? contribute to the album's general anythinggoes sense, but the remarkable aspect of Ditherer is that all of this seemingly impenetrable mass of ideas has been streamlined into 11 relatively concise and surprisingly accessible pop songs. In many ways, it's like an Upper Midwest version of Badly Drawn Boy's similarly polyglot aesthetic. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide Read more Less

Fog

Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Broder began making eccentric music as Fog and hooked up with the British label Ninja Tune. Born in Minneapolis, MN, where he continued to reside, Broder turned to music as an escape from the outside world.
