whenever I listen to this it feels like a watered down version of madlib beat tapes, I wish I could get into it because in theory this is like my favorite shit

I can't really answer that intelligently, I guess I'm letting it be its own thing and not trying to compare it to anything else, and that has allowed my perception to the music to open itself up a little more

I don't expect to be as spazzy as I wanted it to be originally maybe? idk

my perception of the music, obv
Still think it's a lot less than the sum of the ideas that people use to describe it.

Ghettoville is the bleached out and black tinted conclusion of the Actress image.
Where the demands of writing caught the artist slumped and reclined, devoid of any soul, acutely aware of the simulated prism that required breakout.
Four albums in and the notes and compositions no longer contain decipherable language.
The scripts now carry tears, the world has returned to a flattened state, and out through that window, the birds look back into the cage they once inhabited.
Spitting flames behind a white wall of silence.
The machines have turned to stone, data reads like an obituary to its user.
A fix is no longer a release, it's a brittle curse. Zero satisfaction, no teeth, pseudo artists running rampant, but the path continues.
R.I.P Music 2014.
Actress

LOL
No comment on that up there, but just came here to say:
if you like Actress, check out that Gardland "Syndrome Syndrome" album on Rvng Intl, it's dope
it's got it's own thing, but the effect sometimes reminded me of the more upfront Actress jams

A lot of year-end round ups I've read have compared all sorts of artists to Actress and every time I investigate I am left disappointed. Who else actually has the same bleary, drained, warped sound?
