Ah. Autumn is here and it got me thinking of Vampire Weekend’s upcoming record and Swedish acts. Enjoy.
Matthew Adam Hart has been dormant for a while. Let’s hope we hear from him and Lo-Fi-Fnk soon!

the interview show: LO-FI-FNK
Lo-Fi-Fnk (pronounced Low-Fi-Funk) make very light and peppy indie tunes—and they do it when most other guys their age—early 20s—want to be rappers or in a metal band. Because their tunes are so unabashedly pop, Lo-Fi-Fnk are often mislabeled “effete” and even “gay.”
To clear up any confusion, a reporter and friend-of-the-band even went so far to declare the guys hardcore “womanizers.” (Now, I wouldn’t exactly call them “womanizers”—you should see them both turn deep red when a pretty girl walks by. So sorry guys, Leo and August are not gay.)
Even though the boys from Lo-Fi-Fnk look like two doe-eyed innocents—that any mother would be happy to date their daughter (or son)—these two guys definitely like to party . At the end of the interview, I spied a large bag of M&Ms backstage and teased the guys about it… Demanding candy in their rider? Leo and August laughed, telling me the candy was for their drummer. Then they proudly showed me their large bottle of Jager. That bottle didn’t last very long.
When Swedish teens August and Leo started out as Lo-Fi-Fnk, they were inspired by their fantasies about what happens in the forbidden playground called a nightclub—and now their job is to be in a club every night, living the dream.
Hey, Scott Wood here. Lo-Fi-Fnk are the perfect indie solution for everyone who loves Justin Timberlake, but feels shitty about liking JT’s overexposed, crassly-commercial pop.
