Why Glo-Fi? We are not endorsing this
Maybe it’s because we grew up in the nineties, whatever the case, George and I think glo-fi eighties nostalgia is whack. We cringe when big names such as Pitchfork eat this stuff up.
Eighties revival is no stranger to any art scene. The fashion world has been pushing neons, scunchies, and pink leggings on us for years now. I’ll let Ray-Bans slide because I like them way too much. The Rubik’s cube is okay as well.

What we think is more satisfyingly relevant than 80s nostalgia is a 90s comeback. It’s about that time that us 90s children are entering the work force and creative scene, so it’s likely that rather than seeing a serious endorsement of glo-fi stuff we’ll begin to see a support of artists like Die Antwoord – a disturbing but excellent musing of Eminem with ‘a post-modern Ali G factor.’
