For a dance music producer, Anthony Naples has always made albums with unusually broad appeal — the kind that even your coworker who went to a Four Tet show once might appreciate. Each LP has some kind of unifying theme or inspiration, like ’90s downtempo on Orbs, nighttime radio on Fog FM, or the surprising inclusion of live instruments on Chameleon, an experiment in writing music, rather than producing it. Scanners stands out for its lack of context or backstory. Even the accompanying note on Bandcamp merely says that it features “ten new songs.” The New York artist’s sixth album is his most straightforward yet: ten new songs indeed, exploring a subtle and spacious take on dance music with polished surfaces and just the right amount of melody.
