Project Lo-Fi

1. “Slow Down” [MP3] [REAL AUDIO]

“A collaboration between myself and a friend of mine called Jai Carter. We recorded the song at home in our project studio. I thought it fit into the ‘intimate audio’ ethos, being that it's quite stripped back and recorded on a zero budget.”

“I've been a big fan of Sean Brokenshire's stuff since I first heard his work through the ‘John Frusciante’ contest, which Froosh ran on his official site a couple years back. The track Sean's uploaded for our listening pleasure, ‘Slow Down,’ is an ethereal, Radiohead-esque song supported expertly by Sean's acoustic strumming—GREAT chords!! The backing track is excellent; really nice, textural drum programming (or loops), all washed with some great backround vocal lines. I also dig the doubletracked approach with the lead vocal—alternating vocal phrases between separately tracked vocals, so they overlap. Fans of moody, intimate rock NEED to check Project- Lo-Fi out!!”

Project Lo-Fi Bio:

Two frustrated musicians began chatting over a table in a dingy basement venue in an outer Sydney suburb sometime in 2002. Tired of the politics and narrow creative boundaries of their current musical projects, both wanted to free themselves from these restraints and create music that didn't have to fit into the square. Jai decided to quit the unrewarding and ultimately musically frustrating band he was playing guitar in to take some time off to really concentrate on the music he wanted to create and to be able to express his songs in the way he envisioned them when writing.

Sean, who had been toying with a solo project for years, ultimately wanted to be playing in a collaborative environment and be able to play guitar - his most natural instrument.

After a few meetings at Jai's place, a few café meals later and infected with the sounds of Matthew Good, Speedstar*, Bluebottle Kiss, Glance, The Devoted Few, Something For Kate, Powderfinger, The Beatles and Cat Stevens the beginnings of Project Lo-Fi was created.

Many hours in their makeshift home studio started to produce some new songs that were honest and raw but without the boundaries they were previously forced to put upon their writing.

Whilst many of the themes running through the songs seem melancholic, the band is always ensuring that they don't take it all too seriously.

Plenty of new songs have come and gone and they are constantly inspiring each other with the simple pleasure of creating honest music whilst remembering to have fun.
