Actress 2nd album, released in 2021, contains some of the producers most catchy music and was called album of the year by The Wire: »Darren Cunningham’s supple, warm, second album of ‘R&B concrète’ was equal parts pop constructivism and humid club compulsiveness. Informed as much by 1980s pop as House and Techno, his meticulous electronic productions extracted the familiar essences of these musics and artfully arranged them into something both evocative and alien. Submarine sonar blips and aquatic frequencies sit strangely but comfortably next to ultra-deep synths and kick drum depth charges… such creative use of the basic tools of production is subtly emotive and quietly startling.«
