Phil Motion & The Easy LO-Fi is an original back-to-basics return to classic funk, blues, northern soul, and motown. Dirty drums, warm, punchy bass, gritty guitar tones and hard-driven vocals make up the recipe for nothing short of old-school love. Lo-fi do-it-yourself recordings and an imagination gives this project two strong legs to stand on. Produced and recorded by Phil Motion on Garageband with two sm57s makes for a feel and sound that rooted in a no 'glit' all grit pocket. A bit of help from Jay Jaknunas at Metropolitan Studios with the tighten up, some of the most solid players pushin' and pullin', and the band is good to go.
