Which Steve Lacy EP was released in February 2017?

The Steve Lacy EP released in February 2017 was Steve Lacy’s Demo.

The project was released on February 24, 2017, through Three Quarter and AWAL. It introduced Lacy as a solo artist after he had become known for his guitar work and production with the alternative R&B band the Internet. Its sound combines soul, funk, lo-fi production, guitar, programmed drums, and intimate vocals.

There is a small classification wrinkle: streaming services and many reference works call Steve Lacy’s Demo an EP, but Lacy himself described it as a song series rather than an album or EP. That distinction does not change the identity of the release or the answer to this quiz question.

Lacy created much of the project using an iPhone, recording guitar, bass, and vocals with its built-in microphone while programming drums in Ableton. The release later became a sleeper success, especially through “Dark Red,” which gained major attention years after the project first appeared. It preceded his 2019 debut studio album, Apollo XXI.
