The producer known as ACTRESS and his r&b concrète

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

rip clicked w/ me and its completely stunning, I was looking at it in the wrong light entirely

what light are you looking at it in now?

I actually haven't smoked in a long time!

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.

missing no just needs to chill a lil, i don't wanna scare off ppl who know more about techno than me

excellent news

yesssssssss

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.

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

sorry actress :(

it sucks to be young and sad, but there's a whole lot of liberating history before you.

LOL

Still excited for the new album doe

sad news

new saido berahino 12 on force tracks is my shit right now anyway tho

good art

i haven't checked ninja tune for a really long time (not since the mid-90s) but between this and machinedrum they're doing pretty good

and Lorn.

They've got King Midas Sound now, too.

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?

everything on Opal Tapes?

lee gamble somewhat

patten

Actress as forerunner to the year of "abrasive, conceptual techno."

Ghettoville or the 12"?
