Splazsh

For Splazsh the fog has lifted, the sounds are less submerged than before, but still sticky and close _„î a signature combination of exuberance and introversion, luminescence and puzzlement.
Unconstrained by the formal cliches of the dance music he loves, Actress_„Ž melodies and arrangements are enthralled by their own genies. Worlds of disturbance and melancholy revolve giddyingly inside the insidious funk of tracks like Get Ohn and Lost. A range of musical influences is redrawn, from speed garage (Always Human) to grime (Wrong Potion), with none crowned king. There is a reflectiveness _„î the ambient drift of Futureproofing, the radiophonic judder of Supreme Cunnilingus _„î in amongst the industrial, synth-wave flavours of Casanova, and the stirring, stately Maze.
In love with the mysteries of groove and repetition, Splazsh is both a culmination and a new beginning for Actress, a substantial and eccentric work from a brave and coolly individual artist.
