HiFiLo: Speak  Your Name

Playing piano and keyboards, HiFiLo (also known as Todd  Pentney) creates ten synthy songs that sound a bit like a trip back to ATARI video games. Rob Christian brings some nice flute into the R&B-ish “Wanderlust”, with Robb Cappelletto’s fuzzy guitar jumping into the Brazilian “Downpour” and Alex Samaras adding voice to the tapestry of the trudging title track. On his own, he creates a repetitive riff effect on “Rebirth”, gives some Herbie  Hancock disco moods while tapping out something like a Morse Code message to “FTL” and goes tubular bell on “Gradients”. Would love to know what computer game this goes with.
