Victoria Park is the third full-length studio album from lo-fi experimental music project Fog Lake. Entirely self-produced by Aaron Powell in both his parents' home and his apartment in St John's, Newfoundland, the album was released June 30, 2015 on cassette format through Orchid Tapes.[1]

Background

Upon garnering a larger following after 2014's Virgo Indigo and 2013's Farther Reaches and working with cassette-based DIY labels Birdtapes and Orchid Tapes, Powell worked on Victoria Park in both the city of St John's and Glovertown, Newfoundland. Heavily featuring piano-styled folk songs, it mostly abandons the ambient, dream-pop songs that accumulated Virgo Indigo for a more singer-songwriter like approach. The album takes its title from the park located in downtown St. John's in which Powell "spent two years as its neighbor".[2] It spawned one single Bury My Dead Horses and a music video for the song Shanty Town which was produced by California-based filmmaker Tyler T. Williams.[3]
