Lo Fi-FNK - Boy Life - mp3 review
November 9th, 2006 r8e8rcomI got to hear a sneak preview of the new clap your hands say yeah record yesterday. so, its me, matt - our president (remember him from my cold war kids blunder), the director of insound, and the CYHSY manager, in a small office. We were suppose to be talking about doing some exclusive promotions with XXXX for the new record, but as soon as nick gets there he threw out the unmastered CD and made us listen to the record. We sat there in that office awkwardly staring at the ground, for like 30 minutes, not saying a word as the album just played. trying not to look each other in the eye. talk about awkward. there was no conversation between songs, only feeble attempts to deter nick and get him to turn it off so we could talk. every once in a while my eye would catch our directors as he smirked and we both held back a laugh. its not at all that the record was bad or anything like that, it was just a very strange awkward way of presenting it to us. while I was excited to hear the new CYHSY record, I want my 30 minutes back, that shit was weird.
lo-fi-fnk (pronounced: LO-FI-FUNK) are from sweden and are signed to, indie label, la vida locash. they consist of vocals/instruments by leo and rap/drums by august. they are now also part of moshi moshi records, with their album “boylife” anticipated for release in the UK this fall. what really sucks is that you can’t get this album in the US unless you pay like $30 for an import on amazon and I dont know anyone that has it. i heard these guys rocked it at CMJ, but sadly i missed all of their shows (and there were 3 of em).
