How do you know who you are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are questions that JJ Posway asks on \u200b\u2018Completed Songs\u200b,\u2019 the debut album from his new project Sloping\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some might recognize Posway as the lead songwriter for the band \u200bScooterbabe, Sloping emerges as the next evolution of Posway\u2019s lineage. Similar to how an anthology is a collection of series writings, \u200b\u2018Completed Songs\u2019 serves as the next chapter to a history being written (and self-consciously re-written) by Posway himself. \u200b\u2018Completed Songs\u2019\u200b explores more organic sounds through a mysterious potion of twangy layers, sampling and silence, resulting in a beautifully natural chamber of reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u200bSloping \u200bserves as an escapist diary, then \u200b\u2018Completed Songs\u2019 \u200bis the voyeur\u2019s journey \u2013 complete with twists and turns, a changing narrative with moral ambiguities, and an endless amount of heart.
