Biography

An under-recognized pioneer of the lo-fi revolution, Smog was essentially the alias of one Bill Callahan, an enigmatic singer/songwriter whose odd, fractured music neatly epitomized the tenets and excesses of the home-recording boom. Melancholy, poignant, and self-obsessed, Callahan's four-track output offered a peepshow view into an insular world of alienation and inner turmoil, his painfully… Read more in Amazon's Smog Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Cool Band....Pretty Laid Back Singer, September 16, 2003
This review is from: Wild Love (Audio CD)
I was sitting in a small bar, in Kitchener, Ontario Canada one night, when all of a sudden...in rolls SMOG! They had been on a tour and were just heading back to the U.S.A The bar owner didn't really know who they were, but he let them set up their instruments...and they played...and played...and PLAYED, all night long, while I sipped beer, sitting only a few feet away from the lead singer.

The band was currently promoting thier new "Knock,Knock" album but also sang most of WILD LOVE. I liked their sound so much, I bought this album in the bar, and got Bill to sign it!

SMOG is like a strange hint of Pink Floyd...and a familiar touch of Beck. A very similar flow and writing style....BUT still a very unique band. "Bathysphere" is just great!... like a hypnotic breeze, blowing ever so softly. I can listen to it over and over again. The lead singer is a very laid back guy, and I think the music reflects just how laid back he is.

I spoke to him for a few minutes while they were packing their instruments up. He seemed pretty mellow! I'll never forget that night and I'll always dig thier songs. check out Wild Love, for some very good and mellow music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, December 26, 2002
This review is from: Wild Love (Audio CD)
This album is very beautiful and very depressing. It will take you a while to appreciate this album, but once you get what Bill is trying to say on this album you will be blown away. The album is full of synth and string lines with hauntingly dead pan lyrics. I read a Jim O'Rourke interview once where he said that his favorite thing about Bill is his ability to say something deep that he is feeling in the simplest language. I agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of His Earliest Albums...One Of His Best, October 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Love (Audio CD)
If someone asked me what i thought smog was about i'd play them this record. This is the kind of record you listen to while sitting in your cold apartment in winter...while staring out your window onto a bleak skyline
