Lo Fidelity by flakebelly

Flakebelly’s Lo Fidelity EP invites listeners into the raw and authentic world of indie DIY ethos. Written, performed, and produced entirely at home, these six tracks are a nostalgic nod to the lo-fi charm of four-track cassette recordings. The EP captures the spirit of a bygone era, with gritty, unpolished sounds that resonate with genuine emotion and character.

Brightside opens the EP with gentle acoustic melodies and a swaying rhythm, delivering a message of hope and resilience. It’s a stripped-back track that embodies the warmth and intimacy of a live performance. With Knowing follows as a largely a cappella lament, a mid-life crisis laid bare with honest emotion.

For Every Pain There’s a Conscience Supplied keeps things simple with double-tracked acoustics, harmonica, and raw vocals, offering plain yet powerful expression. Soapbar shifts into a psychedelic jazz-folk fusion, while It’s Ok, Ko brings a reflective mood with lyrical fragments of past memories.

The EP closes with Pivot, an instrumental created on a laptop from the couch, adding a raw, minimalist vibe to round out the collection.

Lo Fidelity is a gritty and heartfelt tribute to indie authenticity, offering listeners a window into Flakebelly’s unfiltered creative process.
