notes
“Very creative stuff, evocative, noir, deep ambience, love the sound, feel and attitude.”
“I love the darkness, sleaze, sexiness and beautiful sounds.”
“This album is truly its own thing.”
The Fog People's debut album, City of Night, is many things. None of them are easy to describe. A concept album based on a film noir? Check. A dark, electronic, sexy romp? Check. An amalgamation of Massive Attack, Prince, NIN, Tom Waits, and Goldfrapp with a Pink Floyd sense of production and drama? Absolutely.
Constructed by a film-school educated sound designer, City of Night is heavy on atmosphere, but tempered with the solid grooves of the martini-sipping jet set. Equally at home in dark sex clubs as well as posh uptown lounges, the Fog People's music is the soundtrack of a night on the town with a dangerous crowd of glitterati.
To make this concept album happen, the Fog People enlisted the help of several close artistic friends. Nowhere is this more overt than on the album's title track, which features a whoppin' 13 singers... making it a “We are the world” anthem for perverts and freaks everywhere. And who answered this call? Alicia Dara, CT Thompson, Scott O. Moore, and members of The Fading Collection, The Filthy Whores, Beehive, The Ticklejunk Horns, Suckapunch, Wilde Turkey, and Lustercoat.
After an amazing six years of production, City of Night has been released. Available on iTunes and CDBaby, the record is going to be followed by a short but exhaustive search to build out a live band and stage show for some kinky and experimental shows.

Manchester electronic post punk meets Memphis old skool on film
author: FusionFreakSeattle’s Fog People make good on their promise of a sometimes humorous, always throbbing and often enlightening look into Seattle’s current underground flow. In the course of sifting through new Seattle music, the Fog People came poking through, there were some names of note and some interesting moments. The first song catches your attention with some Milesesque trumpet work from the Ticklejunk Horns, and then the rhythm section on Exxx takes over and the vocalists come in for a couple of eargasms. There is a pulse of NIN riding through with songs tailored for video production, and there is a feeling of the avant garde at work as well. With music that is clearly influenced by the Manchester post-punk as well as Memphis old skool, this is well worth a listen, and a spin when you want to slip on your “sailing shoes” and fly into bed with one or more loved ones.
theatrical goth electro loungy sonic noir
author: electrondark and sexy, lush and throbbing with the pleasure and pain of the late night underworld, the fog people's debut is a near psychedelic ride into a place both emotionally complex and profoundly sensual. driven by a dense synthetic sonic palette, a host of guest singers and musicians and the lead vocals of michael hayes white, rachael weir and emily mistell, this album explores the power drama of sexuality as it pushes the boundaries lurking somewhere within each of us.
