"...they’ve always been a band that I thought were good, but always a few degrees off my own musical compass." this is the perfect description of UMO.

As someone who made "lo-fi" recordings of necessity I've got to say it rarely works for artists of modern technical means. Jvcki Wai's Good Bye World is the only convincing example of lo-fi immersion I can think of right now. If I can make songs that, according to my son, don't sound lo-fi using an iPad GarageBand, a Zoom h4n recorder (no other mics) and Audacity, what excuse is there for anyone else?
