Fog lake push
Fog Lake is the alias of Canadian singer-songwriter Aaron Powell. Powell began writing/recording songs during his teenage years in Glovertown, Newfoundland. The project is now based out of Montreal, Quebec. In 2014, Powell moved from cassette label Birdtapes to become part of New York based Orchid Tapes, run by Warren Hildebrand. Powell's recordings have been described as "a complex collage of nebulous angst and heartfelt nostalgia".

History
Powell began working on music during his teenage years in Glovertown. The project began as ambient experiments, sampling and covers to "highly introspective, original recordings". Powell's music is crafted in a DIY format on little budget.
Powell's first release was a compilation entitled There's a Spirit, There's a Soul, composed of pop/ambient songs recorded in high school. Powell soon recorded his first EP Inference III "entirely in one night, a few days after dropping out of art school" in June 2012. The project found a following after the release of Fog Lake's first full-length album, Farther Reaches, released in January 2013. The title track was uploaded to YouTube channel, Majestic Casual. The video garnered over 300,000 hits. Powell released his second EP Holy Cross in June 2013 via Birdtapes. Powell followed up Farther Reaches in February 2014 with his second full-length record, Virgo Indigo, which received coverage from websites such as The Fader and No Fear of Pop.
