Utility Fog

Hello. Tonight on Utility Fog… and… while also…
Some nights all this self-expression stuff is all too much. Let the music speak for itself! But let’s see, now:
Tim Friese-Greene, wonderful producer of late-period Talk Talk, has a new album out as Heligoland. Beautiful lo-fi indie rock. And ex-pat Canadian Brian Campeau, now based in Sydney, has self-released a new album called two faces, combining electronic techniques and lovely acoustic pop songwriting. Recommended
