Actress: AZD
I liked a song or two from Actress’s album R.I.P.. I made a point to see him at Moogfest 2016, and it was one of the most uninspired live shows I’ve ever seen. Dude looked like he’d rather be anywhere else.
AZD reminds me of that live show. It’s just not interesting. I was ready to turn it off when “DANCING IN THE SMOKE” came on. It’s another boilerplate IDM track anchored by a sample of someone saying “Dat Ass” triggered at the beginning of every bar. I made it 30 or 40 seconds in before I gave up. I think I’m over Actress.
