STAFF COMMENTS

Darryl says: A compilation of sorts from the hugely prolific R Stevie Moore. Moore might be considered a bit of an odball musician to some, but a bit like Daniel Johnston he's released some beautiful melodic gems amongst the wonkiness, as this album is testament to.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

R Stevie is fast turning into a 40 year overnight sensation. A recent cover star of The Wire and a record store day split single with The Vaccines have meant that people want to know what R Stevie is doing.

For the last 4 decades, R Stevie has been making albums and creating an impressive back catalogue. That back catalogue consists of over 500 albums. The task of compiling ‘Lo Fi High Fives’ was something O Genesis supremo Tim Burgess had to keep moving on, sure in the knowledge that once they'd all been heard, R Stevie would have recorded another handful that would have to be pored over.

‘Lo Fi High Fives’ is just the tip of the giant foam finger, check out David Quantick’s sleeve notes for a real flavour of the man. Add him on facebook. His back catalogue is best appreciated when he posts his songs and his own hipspeak messages.
