10 Greatest Lo-Fi Albums Of All Time

R. Stevie Moore's strictly home-recorded music stretches back years before the origins of the lo-fi movement as we know it. Endlessly prolific, and still making albums to this day, Glad Music may be Moore's closest attempt at a pop album. Through its many idiosyncrasies, it still comes through as a gorgeous record. 

The harmony-filled opener "Norway" is a perfect example of Moore's inventive pop sensibilities that he had been perfecting since the mid-1970s. And the fact that this plodding ballad can coexist with a heavily-dubbed gospel cover and a series of quirky power pop tracks proves his genius. 

R. Stevie Moore has been making the type of outsider music that is still heavily influenced by the mainstream. It is a wide mixture of different musical references spanning decades of genres that continues to amaze. This album is the perfect in point to his huge discography.
