Quick Chat #1 “Hubble” by Actress | Review
Some songs truly make you feel like you’ve never heard certain sounds before, it's absolutely ludicrous
The song I’m talking about is “Hubble” by Actress.
It’s so clean and hypnotizing, he’s got it down to an exact science. Essentially taking me on a cyber expedition. The runtime is almost 9 minutes long, so it’s no mystery as to why it feels like I’m traveling through the physical interpretation of a sound wave.
Apple Music considers UK producer Darren J. Cunningham (aka Actress) to be “one of the most acclaimed sonic experimentalists”and I couldn’t agree more. When I discovered him (as well as Andy Stott) around 2022, that was the first time in a while that I heard something so fresh to my ears. Even as I’m sitting here having another listen, I can’t help but aggressively tap my toes to the beat. Scrunching my face & bobbing my head because the sound is so funky and mesmerizing.
He’s got a fairly new album released in November 2023, titled LXXXVII. This’ll be his 9th album and I’m super duper excited to give it a full listen. Until next time~
Here’s where you can find him:
