"What?

A woozy, sun soaked sedative that will make you lust for summer. Also known as chillwave due to its anaesthetic qualities, glo-fi is generally made on cassette recorders and knackered laptops, giving it plenty of lo-fi snap and crackle.

When?

The scene burst from the American underground last summer, with dream-filled ditties made by 80s kids reimagining synthpop through a bleary lens. Perfect for a 3am post party comedown, this music will mesmerise your senses into slumber.

Who?

Toro Y Moi splices freak folk with psychedelic soul, while Washed Out sounds like a top-down cruise down a US boulevard with your feet up. Also, check out the intoxicating chimes of Memory Tapes and Neon Indian."


Some shit like that. Anyone know any good albums by any chillwave "glo fi" artists? I first heard about it a long while back but I'm starting to enjoy it.

grab everything Washed Out has done. Toro's not really chillwave anymore but both of their/his albums are awesome. Never been a fan of Memory Tapes and Neon Indian's working on a new album right now.
That's really all there is to the genre, all the buzz about it died out pretty fast.
