“There is a new gang in town” The Broken Lo-Fi Hearts present their self-titled debut EP straight out of the depths of loud-guitarred horse-saddled heartbreak.
Starting September 11 (2022) I will upload one brandnew song each sunday as a kind of countdown to the upcoming album
FIXING GREAT MISTAKES WITH DUCT TAPE
I am really happy with the outcome of our december recording session and can't wait to show all of you what we did. There will be vinyl by the end of the year - or so I hope. Pressing plants worldwide are in a bit of a crisis I understand. Fingers crossed :)

I don't know much about Brian Eno, nor did he influence me in any way creatively (not that I know of). But I love this particular Briano Eno quote. Recently found it again to describe to a friend what I am looking for in sound mixing and arrangements:
In a lucky coincidence, hanging in my mum's garden recently I have caught on camera what was perhaps the most exciting incident in the life of this peculiar creature. So I turned it into a music video. Zero budget, zero skills:
Nobody asked for it, yet here it is: a list of 50 albums that I would deem 'pretty close to perfect'. For utterly different reasons these 50 have outlasted many others in my ever shifting listening habits. In many cases, something deeply personal is attached to the sound - a memory, a well-known face, a chapter of adolescence. Sometimes the listed title is more of a pars-pro-toto trying to stand for an artist's entire awesome oeuvre. Sometimes two albums are needed to properly reflect the impact one particular band had on me. And finally, some bands will forever refuse to be defined by one single album and instead force me to list them just by name, in the 'appendix'. I love lots and lots and lots of music and it is impossible to convey all of the joy it brings to my existence. This is a little glimpse. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
