Caroline Polachek - Sunset
Heard It Before: No
Review: Hard not to instantly fall in love with this one, it feels like the quintessential summer song, and automatically conjures up images of barbeques and beach parties. The instrumental arrangements are cool, but it's the vocals and those almost yodelling like moments that really make this something special. Hadn't heard of Caroline Polachek before, but will be checking out more from her, because there's definitely a uniqueness to her. There's almost video game vibes to the melody, like Super Mario remix going on at times, which I also really loved. Excellent submission

Alice Glass - Fair Game
Heard It Before: No
Review: This song is really powerful, really dark, and really awesome. I won't get too into the story behind the song, it's about abuse and gaslighting, written from the PoV of Glass' abuser and former bandmember from Crystal Castles. Just google the song if you want more detail than that, but yeah I knew all that going in to the first listen as E.N. had given me the backstory when submitting, and while I don't usually look into the meaning behind most songs (sometimes I barely pay attention to lyrics at all), I'm glad I knew the history going in to this, as it added another layer to it that I really appreciated

Their debut album is incredible, start to finish.
Sadly their stuff since hasn't lived up to those heights, for me. New (third) album is out soon, but the singles off it didn't excite me too much

Japanese Breakfast - Be Sweet
Heard It Before: No
Review: Very fortunate that I decided to listen to all the songs when they were submitted to see if I knew them or not, which was before this appeared in a FOG Factor round. Really loved it right from the very first listen and I did think for awhile it was prime contender for top spot in this round, but quite a few other songs came along and just pipped it to the post, knocking it further back into the rankings, but very very strong entry all the same
