Primary Emotions/Themes: Slowerpace's take on the barber beats genre without any gimmicks
Thoughts: (Google flagged my original summary so I'm rewriting this)
Barber beats - good. Slowerpace - good. Slowerpace barber beats - best.
Slowerpace is known for creating some dynamic and well themed albums that have a barber beats bend. These albums oftentimes go into themes around science fiction, video games, and anime. Here though they cast all that aside and create a straight up and straightforward album in the genre.
To call this groundbreaking would be inaccurate. Scent is simply content to be a barber beats album, no gimmicks, no fluff, no theme... just music - and it does a damn fine job at that.
It's always a curiosity of mine when an artist strips back all their usual layers and focuses on the basics. You get to see the artists pure take on the genre that they partake in. In the case of barber beats, Slowerpace is quickly differentiating themselves as one of the best in the genre. This album, and it's "to the roots" approach is a testament to how well put together this artists music is.
