mais oui mais oui, Lo-Fi-Fnk est un de nos groupes chéris.
Q: you're not very well known in France (yet), can you begin by telling us a bit about the band and the music that you make ?
A: We are living in stockholm and have our own studio under a garage. We like to make music there and spend quite some time under the ground. Our music could be described as luxurious lo-fi dance pop.
Q: how do you explain the current love for the "timeless electro pop" genre you are part of?
A: Maybe electronic bands have started to write better songs with better lyrics more than "supersonic electronic" robot kind of themes. Maybe more people can relate to our times electronic pop. Maybe it has matured.
Q: what are your inflences and how do you place yourself within the emergent Scandinavian scene?
A: Our foundation comes from the amiga-music we made as kids. Since we began with such primitive equipment we don't feel comfortable with more advanced and sophisticated gear, that does a whole deal to our sound. Our influences have varied through the years but we get a lot of inspiration from hanging out at clubs. That may be our favourite setting when it comes to lyrics and we think you could relate a lot to ordinary life.
Q: how do you make the music? Who does what in the band, do you always work together or does each one of you comes up in the studio with his own idea?
A: Most of the time, we make the music together. August plays the drums and Leo plays the bass or synthesizer and writes the lyrics. Then we "produce" it together.
Q: how does a lo fi fnk show go?
A: Our shows is not at all about us wanting to show off how good musicians we are. It's more like a dance party to our music. Mostly we get a good response from the audience. Especially in sweden where people know our songs.
Q: how did the Kitsuné connection came up ("Change Channel", one of LFF's hits was on the first Kitsuné maison compilation)?
A: Kitsuné connection, dunno. They wanted to put some tracks on their compilation i guess. And our faces ended up there aswell. We got the maison cd from them when we saw them playing in sthlm and we went showing it to people "look, that's us!".
Q: give us the 5 tracks that youre listening on heavy rotation these days?
A: 1) Kocky - "Real" (a really great swedish hip hop producer who have begun to make a special kind of music..that is his summer anthem)
2) Jme - "Deadout" (Serious!!)
3) Man Like Me - "Oh My Gosh" (Serious!!)
4) Prince - "Fury" (Terrific hairdo!)
5) Ed Laliq - "Most Of All"

Lo-Fi-Fnk vs Karin Ström - Psykos
les concerts de Lo-Fi-Fnk sont magiques, ne ratez surtout pas leur premier concert parisien le 11 septembre pour la MOSHI NIGHT avec les très bons Tilly & The Wall et Hot Club De Paris, ça serait vraiment dommage.
Et si vous tournez en rond dans votre appartement à Paris or if you're a tourist who's wondering why he chose this particular week to visit the sleepy capital, fear not for Jean Nipon always has a solution.
