Actress - AZD 2xLP Vinyl Record


AZD (pronounced "Azid") is the fifth studio album by British electronic musician Actress (Darren Cunningham). It was released on 14 April 2017.


Consistent with the artists tradition of being vague with album title and concept as to not create pre-conceived ideas behind its meaning, AZD seems to focus on a central concept of ‘chrome’ associated sound. This may represent human dissociation through the correlation of futurism and having cold qualities. This album is also energetically much different from previous work, with a higher vibration and avoiding darker, gloomy tones.


Sitting more comfortably in the club scene, this style of experimental techno can be quite transcendental, forcing the listener inwards on a soothing beat laden journey. Tracks go from tranquil and almost ambient, to tortured with twisting pitch shifts and crackling interference creating an album which is deeply provoking and otherworldly.


Staff Review:


In 2017, Actress returned with “AZD” - a compelling electronic project blessed with hypnotic, textured rhythms and deep, diverse melodies. The artist's abstract work offers an array of authentic and original sounds.


The album offers Actress' impressive talent for exploring electronic synthesis with an engaging and emotional quality. Themed around “chrome,” the album has reflective and metaphorical qualities, the playful and often instrumental songs explore an emotionally evocative and captivating sound palette.


An album that effortlessly immerses in the flows of both beautifully soft melodies and fierce, raw techno, “AZD” stands as one of Actress' finest works. A rewarding listen, it's great starting point for those unfamiliar with the English producer, and for those who are, it’s engaging release well-worth delving into.
