Archived entries for lo-fi

Yuck – Get Away

Yuck is a band of English youngsters that sound like a fuzzier and more grown-up version of the Midwest emo I grew up listening to. Despite this being a fairly new album, it evokes sense memory of driving around the suburbs, drinking a limited-edition orange Mountain Dew. It’s perfect music for an unseasonably warm day like today.

Get Yuck’s self-titled album here.

Local Natives – Wide Eyes (Teen Daze Remix)

Canadian producer Teen Daze drops a blissed-out dance mix of Local Natives‘ “Wide Eyes”. This guy has yet to release anything official but continues to crank out the lo-fi chillwave jams from the comfort of his own bedroom.

Keep an eye on his Tumblr for more from him.

Cults – Go Outside

In the past two weeks, Cults has seemingly materialized out of thin air. With little information available other than a sparse Bandcamp page, they’ve mysteriously dropped some serious knowledge on our asses. “Go Outside” is some glorious indie pop that rubs us all the right way.

Pitchfork recently scored an interview with them if you’re interested in a little more background info on the group.

Special thanks to both Ish and Dan for both turning me onto this.

Sleigh Bells – Ring Ring

This summer, when you and your friends are living out the montage of wearing aviators, chuckling in slow motion at a bar at 3pm, drinking Orange Lazaruses, catching the eye of the cute girl across the way, I’d play this Sleigh Bells song on that boom box you remembered to bring.

Javelin – Radio

Javelin makes me wish that a lot more of the thugs and punks from the Streets of Rage series would quit drugs and petty thievery, pick up drum pads, and make awesome lo-fi dance gems.

Washed Out – Feel It All Around / New Theory

Two solid tracks from Washed Out (aka Ernest Greene). This guy’s been making beats from his bedroom for a while, but just recently started cranking out these dreamy, blunted synthpop tracks. His Life of Leisure EP has been in heavy rotation the past couple weeks.
