Fog Lake: gentle, perfect, stay inside lo-fi

What began in Aaron Powell’s bedroom as a drone rock project recorded and released via cassette tapes, Fog Lake has slowly edged further into the periphery of the mainstream.

Just off the back of a tour with emo giants Foxing, new record ‘Dragonchaser’ carves beautiful, atmospheric dream pop against the typically drone heavy backdrop of what’s become expected of the Canadian lo-fi trailblazer.

First track ‘Novocaine’ finds Powell exploring the pensive, gentleness of Slowdive whilst managing to find the more blunt, post-rock edge of Slint or Pavement. A beautifully melancholy track that pines for the quiet of days spent inside “waiting for anything”.
