Portland based musician and artist POSY returns to Bastard Jazz for his
second EP on the label, "I Know A Place". Moving to the left of some of
the Lo-Fi influences of his first record, the new EP brings in more
sophisticated instrumental work and jazz influences, working with a slew
of guest musicians to set the mood more dusty than digital. Things kick
off with "Aoi Yume", a beatless mood piece with lush keys and
saxophone, while "Better Days" featuring Natalie Slade is a lifting
piece of 70s inspired smooth R&B. "I Know A Place" featuring Brandon
Lee Cierley layers horns and harps into an easy listening atmospheric
piece with a modern edge while "Seishi" sounds like a 5 piece band
playing in a mid-century modern space station. Lastly, "Message To Jun"
ends the EP on an uptempo note with flute, live bass and keys, and a
drumbreak that's beginning to be sampled for a hip-hop record. A big
step forward for this bright young producer.
Tracklist:
1. Aoi Yume
