For fans of: Post Genre Eccentric Pop
What they're saying: The Chicago Reader really nicely sums up the sounds here, noting Sen “perfected a pragmatic approach to home recording—just an MPC, keyboards, a saxophone, and his voice. Throughout Sen Morimoto he combines hip-hop, indie rock, R&B, and city pop, creating unexpected juxtapositions of placid synth soundscapes, skittering percussion, and delicately layered vocals.” And from Pitchfork’s Steven Arroyo: Sen Morimoto “conceals a reflective sorrow within its blissful swirl of beats and blips.” Tara C. Mahadevan at Bandcamp Daily also picked up on the record’s ennui, stating “the album feels like a portrait of a person stuck between places, both physical and emotional.”
What we say: An exemplar of the new "genreless-genre", with hip-hop, pop, r&b, indie, edm, etc. all blended together into an all-inclusive millennial music smoothie.
