Not really my cup of tea these days, but I used to really like Eric's Trip in the '90s. Such sweet sounds peeking through a nearly impenetrable wall of distortion!

Most of the Elephant 6 bands are pretty low fi and also amazing.
Neutral Milk Hotel
Olivia Tremor Control
Apples in Stereo
Elf Power
Of Montreal...

Pavement and The Mountain Goats <3

Isn't Amanaguchi completely bitpop or whatever it's called. How can it be lo-fi?

 

[CDBacklash]

erm, theyre low-fi sounds? >.> (which is what i was talking about). most of the stuff i listed is chiptune/bitpop/blipblop
sorry if i wasnt very clear.
something like Wagdug futuristic unity would fit too

Does Elliot Smith count?

 

[plonter]

in the black metal scene i would pick "arcturus".

Where's Anamanaguchi's free EP? If it's Power Supply I got that, already.

 

[CDBacklash]

Powersupply was free on 8bitpeoples when i got it

 

[split_brain]

demo tapes from hell.

 

[tintin47]

Built to spill and Elliott smith definitely don't count. They are for the most part great quality big studio performances.
