Lo Fine is an indie rock band, and recording project, started in Northampton, Massachusetts by singer/songwriter Kevin O'Rourke in 1998. Although primarily the work of singer and multi-instrumentalist O'Rourke, his longtime collaborators include musicians Brian Marchese (drums), Thane Thomsen (bass), and Mark Schwaber (guitar), as well as Bruce Tull (guitar/pedal steel) of the Scud Mountain Boys, and José Ayerve. They have released two full length albums, and three EPs, notably incorporating home recordings with studio tracks on their early releases. The music is noted for its slow pace, quiet volume, and poetic lyrics, as well as being described as meditative, gentle, and melancholy.
