Release Notes:
Started from a 4-track tape recorder in the corner of studio
apartment, Aryk Crowder began laying the groundwork for what would
later become lo/fi pioneer.
Drawing influences from R&B greats Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder,
Crowder set out to cultivate a refreshing sound, free of
electronics and true to soul û pioneering organic blends of pop
and funk through low fidelity means.
lo/fi pioneerÆs sound became complete with the 2006 introduction
of Kevin Holt and Tyrone Mitchell, rounding out the trio on bass
and drums, respectively. Shortly thereafter, the group hit the
studio and recorded their inaugural 3-track demo. The music,
impressive enough to book the group at landmark venues in their
hometown of Chicago, including the Double Door, Wise Fools Pub and
Elbo Room, remains true to the visions created in that original
300sq. foot apartment. With nods to legendary artists Sly & the
Family Stone, Prince, James Brown, Al Green and Bill Withers, the
sets are balanced with crowd pleasers and uplifting originals.
With more than a handful of live shows under their belts, lo/fi
pioneer is quickly turning little ripples into waves as they
release their first 8-song EP.
