UK electronic producer Actress (Darren Cunningham) will release his forthcoming album “Ghettoville” on Jan. 27th, 2014, which reading the subliminal message on the Ninja Tune website, may be his last album or at least his final recording under the Actress moniker.

Actress writes:

“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.”

It is unclear whether this last record is a result of Cunningham’s feelings towards the current state of music as a whole or just the desire to possibly record under a new pseudonym. Regardless, we look forward to hearing the new material.

You can pre-order “Ghettoville” on iTunes or the Ninja Tune Shop.
