About Mr. Fogg, Blah Blah magazine say it best: "The songs are granitic electro pop anthems, where retro sounds duet with Phil's velvety voice. Cool and sparse but packed with melody, Mr Fogg presents well constructed songs, that are able to use electronics in a way that recalls but does not copy the early '80s. Confidently belting out his tunes, Mr Fogg has won the crowd in no time... a full-on pop star."
Sol Seppy Sol Seppy is Sophie Michalitsianos, a classically trained pianist and cellist who, on her album 'The Bells of 1 2', wrote and arranged everything and not only played almost all instruments but also recorded and mixed almost the entire album by herself.
Talented then.
She hints at Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins and Stina Nordenstam. She produces tortured but beautiful, fuzzed up celestial rock with moments of intimate folk-pop, grungy choruses and psychedelic synths.
Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse heard her music and asked her to join up with them for their tour with Radiohead. Sophie obliged, and afterwards found herself contributing on Sparklehorse's albums, 'Good Morning Spider' and 'It?s A Wonderful Life'.]
"A slow-burning wonder that you should still be listening to in 2007, said The Sunday Times.
Agreed.
