Filed under: folk, singer-songwriter, alt-country, lo-fi, experimental, psychedelic, indie rock, psychedelic folk

Indie vet Bill Callahan has been producing low-fi, underground rock long before today’s crop of DIY-indie kids rediscovered the charms of the cassette tape. Callahan — a/k/a Smog, his longtime recording moniker — began producing his music on four-track tape recorders more than two decades ago. Smog’s first EP, 1990’s Sewn to the Sky, demonstrated a penchant for discordant sounds, sub-par instruments, and a fierce dedication to self-production. Since those days, Callahan’s music has evolved to include sleeker lines and complex lyricism, marked by his distinct baritone. But his early aesthetic lingers just below the surface.
