"LOW-FI" entrenched in the crack opened between New
Wave and Electro. The trio is melodically leaded by the
twins Alessandro and Adriano, which avail themself of the post
punk 80's side of Fabio. During the years they took part in several
compilations and crossed Italy and Europe performing tons of shows in clubs and
festivals. In 2010 Octopus Records has released their debut EP,
produced by G.Fontanella (24 Grana at Key-Lab), a work which
compresses and condenses popmusic with punk suggestions and electro-new wave
landscapes.
"What We Are
Is Secret", LOW-FI's first LP, is finally born. Time has passed
since Low-Fi first EP (Octopus Records 2010), during which the band has
toured all over europe increasing their musical perspectives and
perceptions.
It was an hard and long work, the band has looked deep into
itmself to find its very own and new identity and after year, in spite of the
unexpected and enemies, Low-fi have flied high releasing a melancholy,
synthetic, dark and melodic LP, a mixture of Electro soundscapes enhanced by
'whipcrack' guitars and obsessive drum beats, songs that simultaneously throws
back to 80's genre pioneers and sounds very 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 for their
musical journey, Alessandro's vocals dissolve in an electrical storm of synth
and guitar walls. From the beginning you can feel the touch of the newcomer
electrodesigner Fabio who has heavily influenced compositions like 'Speed
Control' , 'On the Scene' and the post-punk influenced 'Dead
Disco Syndrome'. The sound change frantically and sometimes it's dancy
('Daylight', 'Forgiven') and at other times quite dark (the
gloomy 'What we are is secret' and the goodbye song 'Piano
Metal').You won't be disappointed this debut collection 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: some
band's friends from Electro/New Wave european scene has made this record
rich: No More, Shonwald, Din [a] Tod & SEXINSPACE have the
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 easy catchy melody, you
will find something to enjoy here.
