lo-fi weirdness

thing about "lo fi" is it's generally more an effect of not knowing how to use your gear than of having shitty gear.

 

the notoriously "lo fi" Pavement album Slanted and Enchanted was actually done on 16 track reel-to-reel, in a real studio, but the guy who recorded them apparently didnt have a fucking clue what he was doing.

 

my band makes way more hi fi recordings now than we were making on the same 4 track 14 years ago

Is slanted and enchanted notoriously lofi? It isn't even really lofi to my ears. It's hardly westing by musket and sextant.

While i'm here.... Sebadoh's "the freed man" is a super fun record

Can watmmz help me construct a playlist? I really like this track by Daedelus, which seems sort of inspired by chilly waves

 

I like some of the stuff in this thread but most of the 'chillwave' stuff is too poppy for me to really like even 2 years later.

Anyways I know there is good stuff in there. I want to make a playlist of tunes like that daedelus one. slow motion, dreamy, opiate like, pitched down snare drum, slowed down 80's samples shit. but only the best of the best. nothing sub par. i think that daedelus track is booss

Yeah looking for my stuff like that track myself - tracks that just kinda stumble slowly forward but aren't too wonky

 

Reminds me of these (both Daniel Lopatin/Oneohtrix Point Never)

 

I'd browse Matthewdavid (another brainfeeder/LA beat scene artist)'s label Leaving Records

Have you guys checked out Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting? It's an alias of Pat Maherr (Indignant Selinity, Diamond Catalog and many others), it's pretty much chopped and screwed taken to it's extreme, completely isolated from the original source material rather than just slowed down 80s tracks. Most of the old cassettes released under the alias are available for free download from his blog.
