Lo-Fi-Fnk – “U Don’t Feel The Same” (Stereogum Premiere)
Swedish electropop trio Lo-Fi-Fnk have outdone themselves again on “U Don’t Feel The Same,” the second single from their upcoming album following “Can U Feel It?” The track practically explodes out the gate, blasting off with enormous drums and a layer cake of synth textures. It’s all the cheesy grandiosity of an ’80s synthpop anthem, but soaked in massive chillwave reverb. The vocal, a robotic confession of unrequited love, gets answered by some powerful, billowing harmonies on the chorus. It’s amazing how Lo-Fi-Fnk packages such uncontrollable emotion in a sound that’s almost entirely artificial. Listen below.
