Anthony Naplesâ sixth album, 'Scanners', highlights a direct and accessible approach to dance music, featuring ten cohesive songs that focus on melody and spaciousness. Unlike his earlier works, this album is free from experimentation, interludes, or complex narratives, allowing the polished surfaces of the music to shine. Each song retains a uniform structure, yet Naples infuses them with a songwriterly touch, ensuring depth and texture throughout. The tracks are well-crafted, emphasizing a rich sound palette that brings a unique feel to each piece, making it his most straightforward release yet.
Each LP has some kind of unifying theme or inspiration... Scanners stands out for its lack of context or backstory.
Naples approaches them all with a songwriterly touch, as on the pumping 'Night'... But there's so much more going on underneath.
A texture is always changing, the filter envelope is always on the move... Scanners is one of Naples' supplest records.
The tracks feel unusually roomy; the huge kick drums are EQ'd way down, so that they mostly occupy the lowest frequencies.
