Sloping

Although some might recognize Posway as the lead songwriter for the band <a href="spotify:artist:6F85D2glYm5trYRKvkSu9N" data-name="Scooterbabe">Scooterbabe</a>, Sloping emerges as the next evolution of Posway’s lineage. Similar to how an anthology is a collection of series writings, &#39;Completed Songs&#39; serves as the next chapter to a history being written (and self-consciously re-written) by Posway himself. &#39;Completed Songs&#39; explores more organic sounds through a mysterious potion of twangy layers, sampling and silence, resulting in a beautifully natural chamber of reflection.


The album progresses from acoustic ruminations to synthesized memoirs, showing technique, patience and practice. Each track serves as a window, giving you a direct view into a moment of time, using decidedly ambiguous language to capture the feeling in a way that sheds through each verse. Practice makes perfect, and no one knows that better than Posway himself. If Sloping serves as an escapist diary, then &#39;Completed Songs&#39; is the voyeur’s journey – complete with twists and turns, a changing narrative with moral ambiguities, and an endless amount of heart.
