R. Stevie Moore

The Profile

American singer-songwriter and pioneer of DIY home recording, prolific since the 1970s and influential in lo-fi and experimental pop scenes.

Widely described as a pioneering home-recording artist with an extensive self-released discography and influence on later lo-fi/indie musicians.

A single DeBaser review treats Phonography as a mock legal indictment while admiring R. Stevie Moore's anarchic pop. The reviewer celebrates Moore's disruptive use of home-studio techniques and cites many tracks as subversive, humorous examples of DIY genius. The piece reads as theatrical praise disguised as condemnation.
