7digital What we said: Swapping Honest Jon’s Records for his own imprint, Werkdiscs, the enigmatic Actress returns with 16 tracks of groove-laden, gothic techno. While there are ghosts of his earlier experimental house output, the follow-up to 2012’s R.I.P. is a gritty, insular affair: a social commentary reportedly drawing inspiration from the pain experienced by drug addicts and the homeless, and the artist’s own frustration with the lack of credibility in modern music. It may sound bleak, but rest assured there are flashes of colourful melodies amongst the greyscale of tape-saturation and overdriven transistors – he does follow Farrow & Ball on Twitter after all.
