A new Shackleton already? Still getting a lot of mileage out of the Pinch collab. Another Honest Jon's release? Reading the response on the new Actress album I will definitely check it out, couldn't get into Splazsh..

The new Shackleton is out on his own label:

i keep thinking of the word "palimpsest" in relation to this album, like what you get after coming home at 7am and all the music you've heard all night is still rattling around in a jangly smear inside your head

I just picked up R.I.P yesterday and want to add to the chorus of praise... This is immediately more engaging and satisfying to me than Splazsh--more beauty, more restraint, more detail, more melodic development. It's a lovely record that it's hard to imagine any other producer making. I think it may even be a "deeper" record than Splazsh but without the sheen of inscrutability that led so many people to keep on and keep on with it; R.I.P is more immediate without being any less complex.

timely reminder for me that this is a good rainy day album
― r|t|c, Thursday, 7 June 2012 13:37 (twelve years ago) link
i agree that it sounds a lot like autechre, especially the one track with the annoying birdsong sample sound and a couple others i can't recall are very much like the subtler confield-era stuff
― the late great, Thursday, 7 June 2012 15:26 (twelve years ago) link
I can see where that comparison comes from, but this is so much warmer and more luscious to me than Autechre.
― Clarke B., Thursday, 7 June 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Think I prefer Splazsh tbh - this is okay, but very similar in vibe to Oversteps-era Ae but not as involving. Might need a few more spins though.

This is really good - his production style certainly lends itself to moody atmospheric numbers far more than it does the more beat-driven dancefloor-based material. "Tree Of Knowledge" sounds like lurching brostep recorded to a tape deck via a microphone pressed against laptop speakers to my ears.

R.I.P. is going to save the lives of so many cracked-out kids, you know at 4am when the drugs won't let you sleep and no music sounds right - this will be the only album they can listen to
very "selected ambient works" imo

whenever I listen to this it feels like a watered down version of madlib beat tapes, I wish I could get into it because in theory this is like my favorite shit

Even more intriguingly, it’s known that Cunningham was previously a footballer due to embark on a career with West Bromwich Albion, before injury forced him to retire from the sport at the age of 19 (a “crushing decision to make,” he says). What business, our inner snob demands to know, could a one-time professional hoofer of balls have making music as obtuse, as formally brilliant as this?
had no idea about this, rmde at the pleb who wrote that anyway

I can't really answer that intelligently, I guess I'm letting it be its own thing and not trying to compare it to anything else, and that has allowed my perception to the music to open itself up a little more
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Sunday, 26 May 2013 23:41 (eleven years ago) link
I don't expect to be as spazzy as I wanted it to be originally maybe? idk
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Sunday, 26 May 2013 23:42 (eleven years ago) link
my perception of the music, obv
Still think it's a lot less than the sum of the ideas that people use to describe it.

Ghettoville is the bleached out and black tinted conclusion of the Actress image.
Where the demands of writing caught the artist slumped and reclined, devoid of any soul, acutely aware of the simulated prism that required breakout.
Four albums in and the notes and compositions no longer contain decipherable language.
The scripts now carry tears, the world has returned to a flattened state, and out through that window, the birds look back into the cage they once inhabited.
Spitting flames behind a white wall of silence.
The machines have turned to stone, data reads like an obituary to its user.
A fix is no longer a release, it's a brittle curse. Zero satisfaction, no teeth, pseudo artists running rampant, but the path continues.
R.I.P Music 2014.
Actress

No comment on that up there, but just came here to say:
if you like Actress, check out that Gardland "Syndrome Syndrome" album on Rvng Intl, it's dope
it's got it's own thing, but the effect sometimes reminded me of the more upfront Actress jams
