"You won’t hear much else like it in 2014 for sure, but fans may find it a comedown after R.I.P."

More Actress More Actress



Esteemed not only for his highly distinctive electronic music but also his prodigious weed consumption, Darren “Actress” Cunningham has abandoned the highly detailed audio-mosaics that made his last album, R.I.P., twinkle with such supernatural clarity. They're replaced with a cloying, murky – inhuman almost – sound, as the mechanoid drums on the likes of Street Corp and Corner stagger through thick, green clouds of disorientation. Cunningham is still way out doing his own thing. You won't hear much else like it in 2014 for sure, but fans may find it a comedown after R.I.P.
