Album Notes

"Lo Fine is a band dedicated to the difficult task of performing delicate rock-based music, committed to the notion that there's a place for popular music that values the sublime and restrained over the raw and showy. It's an approach that puts Lo Fine in league not only with the Scud Mountain Boys but with such acts as Lambchop, Vic Chesnutt, and Boston's own Willard Grant Conspiracy." - Boston Globe

“Recorded with a collection of local musicians in his Northeastern home, there is a gray fog that shrouds all of Nine. O'Rourke's voice is the center of attention, grieving yet accepting in its melancholy…Lo Fine may make no allusions to spirits in the woods or spirits in a bottle, but this uniquely residential take on introspective alternative blues hits home a lot closer than the melodrama of many of its contemporaries." – Joshua Glazer, All Music Guide

"Lo Fine's delicate, meandering songs sound like nighttime - they begin with a whisper, swell softly and then fade, each like a hazy dream.” – Justin Glanville, Hybrid Magazine
