Artist:
Paul A. Rosales

Album:
Wonder Wheel I

Label:
Care in the Community Recordings

Genre:
Experimental rock, lo-fi

Comments:
Paul A. Rosales' album Wonder Wheel I is a well-crafted record that makes other lo-fi recording sound anything but. Electronic-influenced pop goes through the complete lo-fi transformation, with a huge amount of echo and distortion completely overwhelming both the instrumentation and vocals. However, despite all the effects, the songs remain catchy and intriguing, with steady rhythms and progressions still audibly anchoring them to a pop sensibility. Try tracks 1 and 2.
