Totally agree. Check out Sharon King and the Dap-Tones live and then check out the records....the lo-fi thing then sounds like a misconceived gimmick that obscures how great the band and the songs sound IMO
I have to state that I love those guys anyway....and Antibalas ( whose last three records are much more hi-fi ... particularly Security, the John McEntire one). That whole community is a bright spot in a generally bleak musical landscape .
Best,
Vari-Mu
Edit: I too have not heard their latest stuff and obviously I need to go and check it out.
