One artist, not a roster
Most lists of lofi artists are a scroll of names. This one opens a single file. Purrple Cat is a solo lofi project: soft drums, warm keys and small worlds drawn on every cover, from a cat napping on a windowsill to a city lit up at night. The official Self Releases are licensed under CC BY 4.0, so you can play them on a stream or under a video if you credit the artist.
