About Me

Lo-Fi Lung was formed in August 2007 by two Midlands musicians: Chris The Activist and Dew. Together they have developed each others material as well as writing their own original tracks, creating their own eclectic mix of electro/acoustica.
The diverse nature of their influences and broad musical experience has culminated into what has been described as “a broadly ambient acoustic driven sound.” Their lyrics are founded on social/cultural themes, influenced by natural and environmental ideals.
They have already played at many varied venues around the country whilst developing their style to fit different moods and atmospheres. From full on electronic sets to totally acoustic sets and improvised ambient jams, their music has always been well received.
In 2008 Lo-Fi Lung intend to maintain the momentum of their live success and continue recording and developing their sound. They aim to play at gigs and festivals around the country, and welcome invitations to 'come and play' If you are organising an event, festival or gig please contact them.

Sounds Like: Extracts from a review by: Random Donkey Promotions:

"Julian Butt and Chris Harding are as original a duo as you will ever find, both phenomenal artists and performers in their own right, the combination they have found between them is incredible.

Glockenspiel solos, insane percussion lines, accordion based songs, meditation chimes and the interesting addition of a spinning pink tube. Expect nothing less than an awe-inspiring performance from two multi-talented musicians"


Extracts from a review by: Die, Shellsuit Die!:

"Rough and raw traditional folk, all gruff voices, whiskey, preachers and loneliness in the dark

Frantic, mysterious, sort of exotic and edgy enough to be more than background music for BBQs and montages of summer festivals"

Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
