No Dancing Required
Leave your dancing shoes, glow sticks, and tube top at home. Grab a beer, find some nice company, and listen, just listen.Lo Fidelity Allstars certainly did not obide by the standards of dance till dawn music when they created the album Don’t Be Afraid to Love. It’s easy to bounce too, bop your head even, but dance around to those wee-hours, I think not. Play this album at the weekend kick-off summer barbeque, or maybe save it for a night you’re having a few selects to your pad.
ame Track two, Deep Ellum, featuring Baine/Crane/Dickinson/Ellis/Kool and the Gang/Machin/Ward/Whiteman is a little too picnicy for me. It reminds me of a backyard or a block party. It’s fun, but I can picture my father at the grill flipping burgers and the kids slashing in the pool. It’s happy music for happy people, for good days. Smiling faces and American-loving people can jam to this track-no doubt.
ame Track three, Lo Fi’s in Ibiza is a chill song. Not for a club, or even a lounge. Grab a forty ounce, or some cheap wine coolers, light some candles and hang at the apt for the night. It’s a relaxing track not for bopping; more for veggin out. Let’s put it this way, it’s a track to talk over, to drink with, and flirt to.
ame Lo Fidelity Allstars is not for everyone. It tries to be clubby, adds a little funk for flavor, but the end result is less than a master mix, more of a jumbled mesh of thoughts, mere ideas. Again don’t try to dance to it, maybe bounce. It will work for the chill crowd, the kids who are down to hang loose, as opposed to play. Take Lo Fidelity on a road trip, but don’t expect it to pump you up while your primping for Friday night.
