History

Formation

Lo-Fi-Fnk started out as an electronic act in 2001 when band members Leonard Drougge and August Hellsing entered a talent show in their high school.

''Boylife''

Their debut album, '' Boylife'', was released in Scandinavia on April 24, 2006 by the label La Vida Locash and throughout the rest of Europe on August 28 by Moshi Moshi.

Following the album, Lo-Fi-Fnk embarked on a tour. In 2007, they played more than 100 shows in Europe and North America.

In 2007, the track "Change Channel" was included in the Xbox 360 game '' Dancing Stage Universe''.

"Want U", "Marchin' In", and "Sleepless"

Lo-Fi-Fnk followed their debut album in 2008 with the song "Want U", which was included on French label Kitsuné's compilation ''Kitsuné Maison Compilation 6''.

In February 2010, they self-released the song "Marchin' In" for free which received favourable reviews from music media like ''Pitchfork'' and ''NME''.

In August 2010, the song "Sleepless" was released on Moshi Moshi which was described by British newspaper ''The Guardian'' as "...a gorgeous slice of piano-inflected dance pop".

''The Last Summer''

In 2011, Lo-Fi-Fnk released their second album, ''The Last Summer'',.on Sony/ Columbia. It was followed by a tour covering Europe, as well as North and South America.

"Can U Feel It", "U Don't Feel the Same", and third album

In late 2014, Lo-Fi-Fnk released the song "Can U Feel It",
which featured singing parts and additional production by fellow Swedish artist Duvchi. "Can U Feel It" was followed by yet another song in early 2015, "U Don't Feel the Same", which premiered on music website Stereogum, and it was announced that a third album was on its way.
