Lo-Fi-Fnk
Live @ The Old Blue Last, London, 05/31/06

It's strange, you love this album, and you somehow think that the people behind it will look like as the feeling that their music convey, but when you see them in real life it turns out that they look like your little brother's friends. Lo-Fi-Fnk have done one of the best albums of the year, in my opinion, and I was really looking forward to their gig tonight, even though I was tired as hell and they played at The Old Blue Last which means that most of the crowd will be people dying to be trendy. Fortunately, I stood in the front, so the crowd was beyond my jurisdiction and I could fully concentrate on the music. Now let's get to the point: I loved every minute of it, but the gig was way too short, only 7 or so songs were performed. They (Lo-Fi-Fnk that is) came on a bit late as well, which was annoying, but due to the quality of the performance, it was a night to remember. More please!

Boylife
La Vida Locash

I have to be honest, I wasn't that keen on Lo-Fi-Fnk's debut EP "...and the JFG?" that came out last year. Amid brilliant releases from other Swedish "electro duos", such as The Tough Alliance, Three is a crowd, Cat5, and Le Sport (then known as Eurosport), Lo-Fi-Fnk just didn't cut it. Now, with no new TTA material around, a dissapointing album from TIAC, Cat5's album yet to be released, and an album from Le Sport that's got a lot of great songs although I've heard most of them before - "Boylife" comes as a true saviour. The first half of the album is superior to the second, but that's mainly due to starting off with the two magnificent tracks "City" and "Adore". If you're into any of the bands I mentioned above, you should check this one out as well; it's one of my favourites of the year so far.
