LOFI Atmosphere
In the music industry, there are different levels of quality and production known as “high fi” and “lo-fi” High fi refers to a clear, pristine sound with minimal background noise. LOFI, on the other hand, is associated with a more rough, unpolished sound. This distinction can be heard in genres like jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, where lo-fi recordings often have a warmer, more authentic feel.
Today, many artists are embracing the lo-fi aesthetic in their music and visuals. The trend began in the early 2010s with bands like Vampire Weekend and Grizzly Bear, who favored earthy colors and natural textures over flashy graphics. More recently, artists like King Krule and Brockhampton have brought lo-fi elements into their hip-hop and R&B music.
There are a few reasons why artists might choose to work with lo-fi materials. Some may feel that the rougher sound gives their music a more authentic feel, while others may be drawn to the nostalgic quality of older, simpler technologies. Whatever the reason, it’s clear that the lo-fi aesthetic is here to stay. So if you’re looking for something new and different in your music listening experience, check out some lo-fi artists!
Some popular Lo-Fi Artists include:
- King Krule
- Mac Demarco
- Vampire Weekend
- Grizzly Bear
- Brockhampton etc
FAQ
Is Lo Fi Music Good for Background Noise?
Lo-fi music is generally not good for background noise. This is because lo-fi music embodies a more unpolished sound that usually takes center stage in the mix, rather than acting as a backdrop to other sounds. However, there are some exceptions such as jazz recordings where the roughness of lo-fi can add warmth and authenticity to an already established genre.
