Virgo Indigo is the second full-length studio album from the Newfoundland and Labrador based lo-fi music project Fog Lake. Self-produced by Aaron Powell, the album was released on February 4, 2014 through Brooklyn-based label Orchid Tapes.^[1]

Background

After 2013's Farther Reaches gained minor traction through the title track's placement on YouTube channel Majestic Casual^[2] and working with cassette-based DIY label Birdtapes, Powell began working on new material that would become Virgo Indigo. By the end of that year, the album was completed: almost the entirety of it having been produced in his St. John's apartment. Featuring a heavily ambient, dream-pop atmosphere, the album would produce one single, It Was Never Enough^[3] which premiered on The FADER^[4] and No Fear of Pop.^[5]
