Actress Accompanies Fizzy “Xoul Particles” With Visual Static

UK avante garde electro master and Werkdiscs label cofounder Actress quietly releases video for “Xoul Particles” from his July EP.

August 08, 2014



Earlier this week, we premiered the drugged-out, dystopian, neon-filtered video for “Attitude,” a track from London producer Moiré. Its stripped-down industrial electro sounded perfectly suited to the collective/record label Werkdiscs, co-founded by perennial shapeshifter and compatriot Darren Cunningham, better known as Actress. In July, Actress released a four-track EP called Xoul, following the January release of his bleak and brilliant full-length Ghettoville, and has just reemerged from the dark liminal space where he likely dwells with a Nic Hamilton-directed clip for “Xoul Particles,” a track that fizzes quietly like old champagne left uncorked in the fridge. Like its seven-minute audio counterpart, the video at times seems like a dazzling sliver of nature magnified, and otherwise like an infinite scrapyard of digital static. “Xoul Particles” is a micro-apocalypse in a tall-stem glass. Sip pensively.
