关于 Low-Fi （英文 English）
“ Musically, it's a tight band. And of all the rock bands I've ever heard come out of Italy, these guys are right at the top”.
"Low-fi" have entrenched themselves in the crack opened between New Wave and Electro. The group is melodically led by twins Alessandro and Adriano, complimented by the post punk 80's styles of Fabio. In recent years, their music has been part of several compilations, and the band has crossed Italy and Europe performing hundreds of shows at clubs and festivals. In 2010 Octopus Records released their debut EP, produced by G.Fontanella(24 Grana at Key-Lab). It is a work which compresses and condenses popmusic, with punk influences and electro-new wave landscapes. Low-Fi are currently working on their new LP, which will be released on January 2012.
Here we are.. "What We Are Is Secret", Low-Fi's first LP, is finally born. Almost two years have passed since Low-Fi’s debut EP(Octopus Records 2010), during which the band has toured all over Europe, daily broadening their musical perspectives and perceptions.
It was a hard and long process, and the band has looked deep into itself to find its very own identity. Low-fi have reached new heights, releasing a melancholy, synthetic, dark and melodic LP, a mixture of Electro soundscapes enhanced by 'whipcrack' guitars and obsessive drum beats; songs that throw back to 80's genre pioneers but still sounds fresh. Tunes with bite! The work was recorded at K-lab Studios , produced by Giuseppe Fontanella(24 Grana) and mastered at Swift Studio in London (Klaxons,My Vitriol, Pete & the Pirates).
The album starts where the first EP ended,"Something", the song that represented a watershed in their musical journey. Alessandro's vocals dissolve in an electrical storm of synth and guitar walls, and from the beginning you can feel the touch of the newcomer electrodesigner Fabio, who has heavily influenced new songs like 'Speed Control' , 'On the Scene' and the post-punk influenced 'Dead Disco Syndrome'. The sound changes frantically, from the dance-driven (Daylight, Forgiven) to dark, melody based (title track 'What we are is secret' and the goodbye song 'Piano Metal'). You won't be disappointed with this debut collection of songs from Low-Fi, especially if you like The Bravery, Placebo, or She Wants Revenge.
Low-Fi's debut album also has much more to offer: friends of the band from the European Electro/New Wave scene has also contrubted: No More, Shonwald, Din [a] Tod & SEXINSPACE have had a hand in this work. 'What we are is secret' mesh all these inspirations together to share and give to the world something really personal.. .if you like rock, industrial, alternative or electro music with an undeniable melody, you will find something to enjoy here.
