Fog

C90 @ The Grapes

The idea of showcasing a five piece live band initially seemed like somewhat of a departure for the low-key C90 organisation, whose usual area of interest is things of an electronic nature. However, a performance by Fog illustrated perfectly that what they are in fact supporting is the idea of creative, interesting music. Fog fulfilled these particular criteria superbly. After support from C90 resident Juliun, who provided a welcome selection of breaks and electronica, Andrew Broder and his band climbed quietly onstage and played exactly what they looked like they should be playing: an eclectic blend of experimental, but tuneful, post-rock.

Displaying some beautifully crafted songs, the band showed that they are as comfortable with melodic, country-tinged lo-fi, as they are with full on jazz-out improv sessions. This sense of variety was enhanced by an impressive array of instruments being used and swapped throughout the set – in particular, it was pleasing to see a saxophone put to such good use.

Though Andrew Broder appears to be moving gradually towards more traditional, band orientated songwriting, there were still suggestions of his taste for the more obscure side of music, which came from some well placed use of various electronics, and hinted at his deserved reputation for using such technology in a thoughtful and intelligent way. This splicing of genres, which has become a key element of Fog’s music, ensured that the short-but-sweet set was a constantly interesting one.

The band that Broder has put together are clearly a very talented outfit, who are comfortable with their performance, and the direction they are taking, and rightly so. By the end of the night they had both charmed and impressed the gathered crowd, with a performance that suggested a genuine passion for music in those who were playing it – a quality essential to the impressive events that C90 continue to put on. - Tristan Parker
