“My TV ain’t HD, that’s too real,” sang Frank Ocean in his Channel Orange standout, “Sweet Life.” This motif did not only describe Frank’s preference for low-definition videos, but was also characterized in his music. Ocean was one of the few popular artists to make music that was minimal and contained low-bitrate samples; this subdued approach gave his music its distinct vibe and an overall “Lo-Fi” effect. Rather than spotlighting the technicalities, those like Frank fully embrace their imperfections and put emphasis on raw artistry and vibes.

Although Ocean is not the first artist to come up with this idea, he (along with Toro Y Moi, Mac DeMarco, King Krule, Jaden Smith, Ariel Pink, Lil B, Clams Casino and a few others) is one of the key figures in popularizing “low-fidelity” in today’s music. The art form has likely existed since the beginnings of recorded music, and even became an underground movement in the American rock scene in the ’80s and ’90s. Over the last few years, a Lo-Fi strain of hip-hop production influenced by the likes of J Dilla, Madlib, Nujabes, Onra and The Avalanches became popular throughout music-sharing sites like SoundCloud and Bandcamp, giving birth to genres like cloud rap, vaporwave and other associated subgenres.

In our post-Internet world of today, “bedroom” musicians are no longer just beatmakers; recording music in the bedroom has become the norm nearly all aspiring artists. For some, the aesthetic is intentionally sought for; for others, it’s mainly due to a lack of resources or knowledge to make the music sound high-fidelity. “It was never my intention to make ‘bedroom pop’ sounding music,” Clairo, one of the most popular figures of the new generation of “bedroom pop” artists, revealed in an interview. “I just used the resources I had available to me and they weren’t very high quality. I do plan on expanding my sound from lo-fi into something cleaner with better materials.”

The autumn season is in full-effect, so what better time than now discover some new records? Lo-Fi/bedroom/downtempo/post-Internet/Chillwave pop — whatever the Internet has been calling it — is the wave right now and we’ve handpicked 15 relatively new artists and songs you should be listening to if you’re new to the genre.

Clairo

For fans of: Abra, Kali Uchis, SZA

Clairo aka DJ baby benz — real name Claire Cottrill — is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Boston, MA. Her sound is simple, relatable and nostalgic at the same time, and she is best known for her viral video for “Pretty Girl” as well as her track “Flaming Hot Cheetos.” The video of “Pretty Girl” is captured by a webcam in her bedroom, and upon release she had never expected the video to blow up the way it did.

Cosmo Pyke

Cosmo Pyke (which is actually his real name) writes jazzy, soulful Lo-Fi tracks that he describes to be “spacey, beautiful and lazy.” He is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Peckham, UK. In addition to making music, Pyke is also a spray paint artist and a model.

CUCO

Shiloh Dynasty

For fans of: Childish Gambino, Sampha, Sondor
