Steve Lacy's Demo is the first extended play[3] by American musician Steve Lacy. It was released on February 24, 2017, by Three Quarter (3Qtr) and AWAL.[3] The project has been described by Lacy as a song series.[4]
Lacy created most of the song-series on his iPhone, producing the guitar and bass arrangements and singing his vocals right into its built-in microphone.[5][6][7][8][9][10] He also programmed the drum patterns in Ableton.[11][12]
In popular culture
Beginning in August 2021, the song "Dark Red" went viral on TikTok, with videos featuring the song reaching over 110K views as of February 2022.[13]
Steve Lacy's Demo received positive reviews from music critics. Jonah Bromwich of Pitchfork said, "[Steve Lacy] sparkles with classic Southern California funk and soul... the music here is startlingly mature, full of dimension and depth, as if Lacy were accompanied by a full band rather than doing everything, right down to the mixing, by his lonesome."[15] Kareem Sheikh of DJ Booth said, "Demo's six tracks are cohesive in both their smooth, sultry sound and their theme of young love... [Demo] is fun, youthful and intimate, and is sure to convert any [The] Internet lover into a budding Steve Lacy fanboy."[16] Makeda Sandford of Saint Heron stated that, "[Steve Lacy's Demo] is an electrifying yet smooth thirteen minutes – a playful depiction of beachy funk, rock 'n roll-sprinkled soul."[17]
The track "Moron" was cut from the tracklist, but was self-released for free on April 1, 2017.[18]
