7 out of 10It seems the "Lo-Fi Bug" has hit a lot of indie bands these days. I'm not sure if the genre could ever be "commercially successful" but it always seems to have a "cult" following. Fight Bite continues in the traditional sense of Lo-Fi meets Indie, only they add quite a bit of saturated Dream Pop to the mix, making them come off as an "elevator friendly" Ladytron or Stereolab.
If you like laid back, dreamy, peppy, pretty, catchy, feminine "Beach Boys-esque" vocal harmonies, Lo-Fi, Indie, Dream Pop "Emerald Eyes" should go down quite smoothly for you. Layer's of vintage, somewhat broken down synths stretched over vintage drum machine(possibly Casio keyboard) loops, twinkly piano, gorgeous female vocal harmonies that are also sometimes reminiscent of A Sunny Day In Glasgow, and production values only a 8 track recorder could give you. Give this an album a go next time you're in a laid back kind of mood.
Standout Tracks: Never Let Go, Swissex Lover, Emerald Eyes, Dorthea, Strings, Spring Rain
