Style: Vaporwave, beats, lounge, sampled, plunderphonics
Primary Emotions: Chill, sexy, repetitive
Thoughts: Pretty standard barber beats stuff. Chilled out vaporwave that has a huge influence from Haircuts for Men and Macroblank.
The music is essentially a bunch of lounge pieces chopped up and put back together with a beat put underneath them. It does not have the typical vaporwave feel to it where the music is slowed down to a crawl and the vocals sound like they are falling asleep. This is livelier and has a bit more of a spark of life.
The album is bass heavy and the pressing reflects that nicely. It's critical for music such as this to have a strong thump to the bass kick. It demands attention and if done incorrectly the music sounds anemic. That is not the case here.
Darkness is another entry into the ever growing field of lounge inspired vaporwave known as barber beats. The music is good in small doses but as the list of artists grows the sound tends to blend together. It's "nice" but little more than that. I don't have too much of this stuff in my collection so I'll be hanging onto it. This is probably one of the last records I'll get from this genre though.
