Actress (Darren Cunningham) one of the preeminent and most singular voices in UK electronic music returns with new album LXXXVIII, released on 3rd November on Ninja Tune. The conceptual groundwork for the coming album is built on a game of chess, each track named for a particular piece. With each thoughtful move the game grows and develops over time – something we can hear reflected throughout the album textured and delicate layers.

The release follows 2022s mesmerizing Dummy Corporation EP, which placed Actress firmly back in the center of underground club culture. Prior to that his 2020 album Karma & Desire which saw guest collaborations from Mercury Prize winner Sampha, Zsela and Aura T-09 received widespread acclaim, with The Guardian commenting the album cements his place as one of the great poets of club.
