Description:

Along with Dean Blunt, Arca, OPN, and James Ferraro, Darren Cunningham, a.k.a. the prodigious Actress, has been driving freaks wild with his overwhelmingly charismatic musicality. Music, rest in peace." ----- This is his fifth original album, AZD, his first since the album Ghettoville (2014), which was released with the powerful statement, "Music, rest in peace." It's a journey into a parallel universe in a jet-black, stripped-down, super-alloy style that swallows everything from Detroit Electro to James Hampton to Ramelzee. I made about 50 versions of each of the same songs," Cunningham recalls. The parts are stored on tapes, CDs, old computers, USBs, and everywhere else, so it's a depressing process to collect and complete them all. We ended up with a total of three hours worth of music.The album, which he describes as "a new kind of music," is a work that is as smoky as ever, with the monstrous electro "CYN" that hits the semicircular canals as if it were an update of Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" while editing Ramelzy's rhymes, and the preceding shivering single "X22RME," but clearly different from anything he has ever done. The "on" mode is clearly different from the previous ones. A new music system = AZD was born here, where one is inevitably overwhelmed by the unfathomable talent.
