Sounds LikeHere’s what they’re sayin…

"If Marvin Gaye ever made an indie rock album, it might have sounded like lo/fi pioneer’s Solid State... Singer Aryk Crowder delivers like it’s 1974,..." - Joseph Simek / Illinois Entertainer

"...this music goes beyond imitation, as is often the case with truly talented people, to become something far more potent and long lasting...I defy anyone not to be able to tap their feet to “Thick”--and Solid State is nothing if not extremely well crafted for an independently released CD...I would say that Lo/Fi Pioneer is set for a great future." - Gina Morris / EOM Entertainment

"Soul practically oozes out ...The guys (lo/fi pioneer) ...reach an authenticity of soul in their music." -Michael Schmitt / RedEye/Chicago Tribune

"The band’s awesome music and lyrics reminded me of the days when artists actually sang with passion ...lo/fi pioneer has truly kept that feel and tone of music alive especially when performing" -Southside / Fearless Radio

"lo/fi pioneer is thick and tight grooves/beats...soul which creates a unique sound that Chicago had never seen coming." Brian Zieskie/Gallery of Carpet Studios

   About lo/fi pioneer (Chicago soul/rock)
Started from a 4-track tape recorder in the corner of studio apartment, Aryk Crowder began laying the groundwork for what would later become lo/fi pioneer.

Drawing influences from R&B greats Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, Crowder set out to cultivate a refreshing sound, free of electronics and true to soul – pioneering organic blends of pop and funk through lo fidelity means.

lo/fi pioneer’s sound became complete with the introduction of A'drian Morris and Will Nickson, rounding out the trio on bass and drums, respectively. Shortly thereafter, the group hit the studio and recorded their inaugural 3-track demo. The music, impressive enough to book the group at landmark venues in their hometown of Chicago, including the Double Door, Wise Fools Pub and Elbo Room, remains true to the visions created in that original 200sq. foot apartment. With nods to legendary artists Sly & the Family Stone, Prince, James Brown, Al Green and Bill Withers, the sets are balanced with crowd pleasers and uplifting originals.

With more than a handful of live shows under their belts, lo/fi pioneer is quickly turning little ripples into waves as they support their first 8-song EP.
