Lo-Fi from the UK


My recent post about music's current infatuation with the lo-fi sound seemed to feature a huge number of musicians from the States, namely Brooklyn and California. However, the increasingly popular genre is hardly limited to the Yanks.

Just the other day I was introduced to Sex Beet, a trio from London whose guitars, drum sticks, and organs play pop music up-tempo and over-distorted.

Sounding like Times New Viking jammed full of Britrock sensibilities, the band's music isn't as sun kissed as their 60s-inspired US counterparts, but nonetheless delivers the goods.

"Scarecrow" is off the band's upcoming 7", due this October from A Fistful of Records.
