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.

i haven't checked ninja tune for a really long time (not since the mid-90s) but between this and machinedrum they're doing pretty good

A lot of year-end round ups I've read have compared all sorts of artists to Actress and every time I investigate I am left disappointed. Who else actually has the same bleary, drained, warped sound?

so this is out on the seedy places of the internet now and i couldn't help myself. absolutely great album

good to know, thanks for heads-up

Ghettoville or the 12"?

I'm stupidly excited for both, really- this is the first producer in ages that's made me break my "no stupidly expensive import white labels" rule.
― CAROUSEL! CAROUSEL! (Telephone thing), Monday, 30 December 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link
the album is out there
― Number None, Monday, 30 December 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link
ugh tired writin bad
but yes, I am repetitively, redundantly excited for this new album collection of musical song tracks

after a lot of love, there is a negative review in new mojo.
and an indication that this is the last release under this moniker ?
loving the jacket ..

it is "the bleached-out and black-tinted conclusion of the Actress image" apparently
― Number None, Monday, 30 December 2013 23:00 (ten years ago) link
description makes sense after listening to it. really dark album. perfect for the bitter january/feburary cold coming up. gaze is a straight up jam
― illegalblues, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 00:54 (ten years ago) link
a lot of this sounds like dean blunt
― the late great, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 02:00 (ten years ago) link
as on hazyville and splazsh i like the uptempo tracks best of all
this is maybe too lo-fi for my tastes
― the late great, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 02:03 (ten years ago) link
kinda taking the "silver cloud" style even further. i'll have to hear this a few more times before i can say anything about it.

love the album cover, i wonder if i'll ever come around on his music

terrence dixon's "from the far future pt. 2" is the most actress-sounding non-actress thing i've found:

$120+ for box set you got to be kidding me ..
― the late great, Monday, 6 January 2014 04:25 (ten years ago) link
It's marginally cheaper direct from Ninja Tune- their site is quoting me the equivalent of $90 including US shipping.

Really couldn't get into that Huerco S album, it was just too grey and sludgy, I think Actress does this sort of thing with more variety in tone and emotion (although I have yet to hear Ghettoville)

And I certainly haven’t retired! A lot of records out there at the moment are ones that I’ve recorded, and people don’t even know.

Every Land was originally part of Paul White's forthcoming album but as the record has taken shape it just didn't fit any more (that, and the massive sample...). His new LP marks a whole new direction as he explores new wave, Krautrock, and much more. Someone said it sounds like Actress playing jazz, which is as close as anything we've come up with. There are some hints in his recent Boiler Room live show: watch it here.
