Feu Follet - Fogbank Cat.#.: TRB.010 Price: 3,00 € Order via email to info@exovo.org (
Press info: Fogbank, German artist Tobias Fischer's second solo full length album, is coupling two long pieces based on sound material provided by the famous (Sindre) Bjerga / (Jan-M.) Iversen duet. These works comply to the Norwegian duet's aesthetics while Feu Follet spices these drones up with grandiosity in an unlikely - to his previous (toi et le son & souvenir d'ermitage - full length & ep respectively) releases - way. Drone substrata that hold and somewhat, if not completely, make up the base of both included pieces, underlie the effervescent infusion of harmonic mirages that carry iridescent hues of Charlemagne Palestine, Klaus Schulze and even of Aidan Baker, Pole and Mirror.
Reviews: “Tobias Fischer, the man behind Feu Follet (and his own label Einzeleinheit, and co-owning Ex Ovo) has released a CDR by Jan-M Iversen, and this Jan-M delivers, together with his pal Sindre Bjerga (the catalogue of releases reads like a who's who in CDR land), the sound material out of which Feu Follet composed the entire album 'Fogbank'. This is his second full length release, following his debut on his own label some two years ago. Still his interest lies in the realms of drone music. It's not easy to tell that the sound input is by Bjerga/Iversen, but I assume that if you know it makes sense. Feu Follet uses a lot of reverb on his music, which add that much needed atmospherical texture to the music, but it's simply also too much I think. The music becomes clouded by this excessive treatment. I wonder what it would sound like without all this reverb. In all I must say it's a pretty decent release, not the best in the genre, but certainly not the worst either. Alright late night listening. [...] Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly #617.
