Releases

These are the wonderful pieces of music that we are proud to have as a part of the HI54LOFI RECORDS community. Some of these releases are 'old school' releases (i.e. our logo on the tin, press releases and all that). I guess you could call them 'Official Releases'. Some of these releases were independently released by the artist themselves, some even before HI54LOFI RECORDS existed, and they've been added to the community later. We call those 'Friendly Releases'. Every release has been made available by means determined by the artist and each release has a free track you can download. We think that the future of music doesn't just mean a new type of label, but it also means a new type of artist.

Boxing Day - French Films About Trains

“ If you were to create a film of this album as a whole, it would be flickering frames of 8 mm film saturated in fond nostalgia as you drive out of your small town and down a road until the thermostat rises almost as quickly as the sense of something out of the ordinary.....anything.”
