[MP3] Mr. Fogg’s ‘Headlock’ + reMix

 

Mr. Fogg

This week saw the release of the new single from ecclectic Oxford based singer/songwriter Mr. Fogg. Headlock is the latest single from Fogg’s last summer second album, Eleven, following on from his acclaimed 2010 début Moving Parts. To celebrate the single’s release Mr. Fogg is giving away a reMix of the track from London producer Graphics.

Headlock is a heady cocktail of elements rolling over a metronome beat and VL-1 snare. Traditional instruments, cello, glockenspiel, play up against both dark, grinning electronics and bright, breezy, synths. Mr. Fogg’s introspective croon over the top give the track an air of grandiose BedroomPop. this is what you call real interesting Pop music. The Graphics reMix takes the track by the hand and leads it to some dingy warehouse party. Stripped down, but funky, House. Sparse beats and world percussion mix with rounded square basslines and for a track that is every bit as enigmatic as the original.

Mr. Fogg’s ‘Answerphone’ video

We missed out on posting this a few days ago, dunno’ why, just one of those things.

Anyway, this is the new, fascinating, video from ElectroPop artist Mr. Fogg. It’s amazingly well co-ordinated and all shot in one take.

Apparently, Mr. Fogg, took the idea to the label and various video producers who all said it would cost a shit-load, so he thought ‘fuck it’ and did it himself on next to no budget (and no camera tricks or cuts!). Seriously, that amount of organizing in Trafalgar Square would have been a nightmare!

The song’s pretty cool too!

‘Answerphone’ is out s21st March 2011.
