Episode Synopsis

Fug 'From Little Seeds We Grow'
Release Date: 20th October 2021
Label: RE:WARM
Format: Digital

With their first material for over ten years, Fug's delicate and dark 'From Little Seeds We Grow' was specially recorded for the upcoming compilation 'Home - Volume One curated by Ali Tillett'. '

Twenty years on from their debut album release 'Ready For Us' and more than a decade since the follow up 'Procrastinate', Fug are back. After original band member and co-producer Bob Sadler left to pursue a legal career, full production duties have fallen to Tom Bailey. He's spent the last 25 years writing numerous scores for film, TV and animation, happily staying out of the spotlight. An avid collector of records and vintage synths and keyboards, he’s fast to justify this as the necessity to have a massive reference library and fine tools of the trade. Holding down the rhythm section on drums from the get go, Matt Klose is also a long serving member of Crazy P. Matt has also managed to forge a separate career in food, something the whole band shares a passion for. He has become a much loved chef, caterer, restaurateur and all round gourmand. In his own words: “All I do is drum, cook and cycle.” Jess Williams is the final, original band member and vocalist. As a successful screenwriter, she still finds time to renovate ancient Welsh property alongside being the main lyricist of the group. Joining as the newest appointed member on bass is John ‘Mingus’ Thomson, frequent collaborator, prolific session player and performer with too many renowned outfits to mention. ‘From Little Seeds We Grow’ is the first release from a new batch of songs the band have recorded, with a new album planned for completion in early 2022. 

'Home - Volume One curated by Ali Tillett' is set for release on 3rd December; with Fug joined by contributions from Âme, Bobby Lee & Mia Doi Todd, Coyote, Crack’d Man, Kirk Degiorgio presents As One, Turtle, and Ewan Pearson's World of Apples project. The compilation's tracks align with specific habitats in the local Dorset area where Ali is situated, such as Harbour/Estuary, Heathland/Moorland, Woodland/Forest, and Beach/Cliffs. To immerse the listener even further into the soundscape, critically acclaimed sound and field recording artist Gary Moore, of Springwatch/Autumnwatch fame, has been involved to help bring nature even further to the ears.
