Steve Lacy: Dark red

The Indie music scene thrives due to the same reason the local neighborhood bakery does. There’s a certain sense of support we feel obligated to show when something is created on a smaller scale. We gravitate towards the rawness of it all; we feel closer to it. Walking to the local bakery to buy a fresh loaf Air dunk jordan Melo 3 White Version 2007 – TurismoShops – Комбинезон зимний nike dunk jordan of bread that you know was made three seconds ago in that backroom over air jordan 23 howard university pe there leaves us feeling as though we have accomplished a civic duty. There’s a deeper connection —one that is absent when dealing with larger organizations. This very ideology, according to my good friend Mary-Jane, translates to music. Let me explain.

The indie music scene has seen success due to the “regular-folk” appearance of it all. Listeners connect to the artists on a deeper level because they feel a powerful air jordan 13 wheat release information relationship with not just to the content, but with the rawness of the sounds being emitted. A little touch of humanity is messily placed back into music when it sounds less “industry-ready”. As a result, people find it easier to envision themselves —regular folk— in the places of these artists that they keep on such high pedestals.

Steve Lacy has adopted this art-form. As evident in “Dark Red”, the 19-year-old member of Odd-Future-affiliated band, The Internet, is creating music that’s far beyond his years. In this single, there’s an obvious combination of raw instrumentation and perfectly cleaned/engineered vocals to deliver that modern touch that’s still so important.
