Staff Picks: Actress - Karma & Desire
For fans of: Ambitious Electronic Music
What they're saying: Resident Advisor praises the expanding universe of collaborators on the record: “As usual, Karma & Desire is a sprawling, unpredictable maze of an album, but Actress is no longer a solitary figure navigating rain-streaked streets alone. He's invited others along to zigzag with him. The clouds have cleared and dawn might be on the way.” From The Quietus: “The everyday life of the urban street and club culture is segued into moments of contemplation and reflection on this record, while simultaneously holding onto the fleshiness of life.” And Clash Magazine’s Nick Roseblade calls Actress’s Darren Jordan Cunningham “an artist who doesn’t pander to trends and goes his own path.”
What we say: To our ears this sounds like Actress's take on late 80s acid house. Actress is always an immersive listen!
