Fog is a band fronted by Andrew Broder, which includes members Mark Erickson and Tim Glenn. For most of their existence, material released by Fog had been produced largely by Broder alone, combining both traditionally performed instruments and turntable-derived samples, until the switch to a traditional three-piece rock band format was announced in 2006. Most of Fog's releases have been put out by Lex Records or Ninja Tune. Fog started in 1999, in Minneapolis, MN. His first release was self-titled, and featured appearances by MF Doom and Doseone. The 'debut' album by the full band version of Fog entitled "Ditherer" was released in 2007; Phil Elverum, Andrew Bird, Low, and Dosh all appear on the new album, as well as his former bandmate Yoni Wolf.

Other Projects
