The tour follows on the massive critical success of his debut album Apollo XXI which was released on 3qtr via AWAL earlier this year.
““With his unique brand of sun-drenched funk and lively love songs, which move from joyous to melancholic at a blistering pace, 21-year-old Steve Lacy has appeared destined for big things ever since emerging as a member of stupidly talented LA collective The Internet. His debut album Apollo XXI solidifies this potential, suggesting an artist that, although still a little rough around the edges, has a glowing career in front of him.” ”
One of the most eagerly awaited debuts of the last couple years, Apollo XXI instantly won acclaim from critics with The Fader calling it “one of the most anticipated releases of this year” and The Guardian describing it as “a casually confident kaleidoscope”. Lacy has also recently been featured on the cover of i-D’s ‘Voice of a Generation Issue’, Crack Magazine, GQ Korea and Document Journal
“One of the most anticipated debut albums of the year is also one of the best. ”
He will be in Detroit at the Majestic Theatre, tickets can be found here.
