Pianist/keyboardist Kiefer has been on the rise lately. His work, particularly last year’s album, Happysad, is dope and has gotten a lot of love. He’s stepping out more on his own as a performer, alongside Mndsgn but also in his own performances. Now, he’s branching out even more as a composer, adding new complexities to his chill, looping songs in his new EP, Bridges, out April 5th on Stones Throw Records. As an example, he just dropped the first single, “Sunny”, which definitely feels like a grandiose 1970s pocket that glides into a smooth ride. Check out the dopeness below and be on the lookout for the new EP this April.

Kiefer will also be heading out on tour this spring through the US and Europe in support of the new work and headlining, at that!
