Phileas Fogg – ‘Will Never be Played Again’

Phileas Fogg is the moniker of London-based artist Asi Binyamini, who like his namesake – the protagonist in Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days – Fogg spirits us away on an imaginative intrepid adventure.

Fogg introduced his decidedly catchy brand of reverb and fuzz-laden psych-rock with single ‘Ready or Not’ in 2018 and he’s back with ‘Will Never Be Played Again’. It is an enthralling psych-rocker, tentatively building from a haunting and unsettling opening atmosphere it gradually grows in slowburning fashion, swelling as his vocals ascend rousingly above the dense competing layers of psych noise to add a topping of the anthemic. ‘Will Never Be Played Again’ serves as a timely reminder of Fogg’s knack for the hypnotic and captivating tunes – as evidenced by its predecessor ‘Ready or Not’.

Listen to ‘Will Never Be Played Again’ below now – (it is actually a reworking of a single of the same name, release earlier this year, as the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed).

Phileas Fogg is the moniker of London-based artist Asi Binyamini, who like his namesake – the protagonist in Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days – Fogg whisks us away of an imaginative intrepid adventure.

‘Ready or Not’ is the teaser single for his forthcoming, so far unnamed album; and it is a doozy. This is a reverb and fuzz-laden psych-rock expedition to the stars through muscular riffs, hazy subtle psych undulations, meandering melodies and heavenly harmonies. It’s no gross exageration to say that ‘Ready or Not’ would be quite at home in the company of Supergrass, Super Furry Animals & Paul McCartney at their proggy-psych-pop best. Hopefully we are not waiting too long for another taste of the album, and of course the whole record itself.
