Steve Lacy's Demo is the first extended play[4] by American musician Steve Lacy, of The Internet. It was released on February 24, 2017 by Three-Quarters Records.[4] The project has been described by Lacy as a song series.[5]

Background

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.[6][7][8][9][10][11] He also programmed the drum patterns in Ableton.[12][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."[14] 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 Internet lover into a budding Steve Lacy fanboy."[15] Makeda Sandford of Saint Heron states that, "[Steve Lacy's Demo] is an electrifying yet smooth thirteen minutes – a playful depiction of beachy funk, rock 'n roll-sprinkled soul."[16]
