Actress: Ghettoville
Darren Cunningham’s career as Actress might just be performance art by way of music production.
East India Youth: Total Strife Forever
A debut album that bursts with beauty and boldness that will keep strife away forever.
Laurel Halo: Chance of Rain
It’s not as challenging as some critics have made it out to be, not when Halo’s grilles of beats can so easily ensnare you, body and mind, like how sheets of rain catches a child in awe.
Nils Frahm: Spaces
Both conceptual (in the incorporation of audience and ambient sounds) and not highfalutin (the longest, loudest track is titled ‘For – Peter – Toilet Brushes – More’) it’s neo-classical minimalist musique concrète that’s quite a quiet delight for the senses.
Gesaffelstein: Aleph
Yes, he may have produced Kanye West’s ‘Black Skinhead’ and ‘Send It Up’, but on his own – as the purported dark prince of techno – his debut is an intense introduction to his own take on varied genres of electronic music.
Death Grips: Government Plates
Death Grips’ seemingly unrelenting quest to provoke might just make them the most important music act in the independent scene.
Danny Brown: Old
Danny never glorifies being poor and doing crime — this man isn’t selling the Great American Gangster Story perpetuated by the likes of Jay-Z and most NYC rappers.
