Actress ‎- Karma & Desire 2xLP Vinyl Record (Crystal Clear Vinyl)

Karma & Desire is the seventh solo studio album by British electronic music producer Actress (Darren Cunningham). It was released on 23 October 2020. The album is described by Actress as being “a romantic tragedy set between the heavens and the underworld”.

Having always placed emphasis on texture, Actress composures are full of static crackle, glitches and synthesisers. This album places a particular interest in the voice, which is a completely new direction for the artist. His previous works have contained samples, but never live vocals as displayed in this piece of work.

A more ambient project, Actress uses vocals almost as an instrument creating a dark and ghostly atmosphere, brooding with intensity and mystery. Lacking clear lyricism or articulation, it is less about what is being sung than the feeling the singing provokes.

The first half of this album is predominately piano based, flowing and meditative, becoming eerie and drifting as it progresses. The second half showcases stronger beats with effective vocal collaborations producing some more popularly influenced tracks. Overall, the incorporation of a more human based formula, makes this album incredibly accessible.
