The eminent producer Darren Cunningham – AKA Actress, is back with his first solo album in over two years, Radical Frame.
For over 20 years, Cunningham has pioneered Black British avant-garde music. Actress has been at the forefront of electronic music for over a decade, fusing underground club sounds with textural, field-recordings, and atmospheric samples to compose some of the most original avant-garde and Musique Concrète approaches to contemporary electronic music.
Radical Frame is the apotheosis of his career thus far, embodying his signature sounds, as well as passing the torch to the next generation of artists. Enlisting creative direction from Anna Van der Velde and rybskie, Radical Frame is bold and thought-provoking, interspersed throughout with elements of Actress’ signature satirical humour.
In November, Actress will perform at Pitchfork Music Festival London. This year’s lineup boasts Avalanches, Ear, Tortoise, Aja Monet, Los Thuthanaka, Olof Dreijer, Tortoise, Noname, Radio Dept, and many more. Tickets are on sale now.
