Style: barber beats, vaporwave
Primary Emotions/Themes: a soundtrack to a game that never existed, barber beats style
Thoughts: For a while now I've been enjoying the various stylings of Slowerpace. I kept hearing about this album that they created that was the penultimate part of their collection. That album was Barbershop Simulator.
The whole point of this album is to take the barber beats sound and mix it with a video game soundtrack style. It accomplishes that goal, but I can't help but feel like the album is lacking that little bit extra that I've come to expect form Slowerpace at this point.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but the album feels like it's missing that extra spark that the other albums in their discography have. The music perhaps sounds too samey, or too much like other barber beats artists. I don't really know, but it drives me nuts when I try to concentrate on it too hard. When I take the album in for what it is though, it's a fantastic journey through the streets of the barbershop simulator.
