  • More about The Great Psychic Outdoors: Lo-Fi Music and Escaping Capitalism


Lo-fi is a genreless genre characterized by poor recordings and rough sounds, but it has been largely neglected. The Great Psychic Outdoors is dedicated to the most interesting and controversial artists in this movement, engaging with it on its own terms and showing what it says about us, our lives under capitalism, and the strange ways we cope with pain, madness, and beauty.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 280 pages

Publisher: Watkins Media Limited


Lo-fi, a genreless genre characterized by poor recordings and rough sounds, has carved a unique niche in the contemporary musical landscape. Spanning from extreme heavy metal to sweet ear-candies pop, it has become a solid presence in our collective sensibility. However, it has largely been neglected due to its refusal of anything hi-fi and hi-tech. The Great Psychic Outdoors, dedicated to the most interesting and controversial artists in this movement, aims to rectify this injustice and vindicate the revolutionary potential of lo-fi music. Engaging with this weird genre on its own terms, the book confronts the aesthetic and conceptual stakes of lo-fi, showing what it says about us, our lives under capitalism, and the strange ways we cope with pain, madness, and beauty.
