ACTRESS - Hazyville
Despite few CD releases in their catalogue so far, having initially focused more on 12" singles such as their Grim Dubs (as per the prevailing culture), Werk Discs have already developed a reputation for forward-thinking releases on the outskirts of grime, dubstep, and post-Dilla blap/'lazer bass'/wonky beats. Werk co-founder Darren J. Cunningham's first full-length as Actress (following 2004's No Tricks EP) is hazy indeed, dusted tech-house somewhere between Theo Parrish, Autechre, and young contemporaries like Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and labelmate Lukid (hawking his own fine new disc, Foma).

this is thee perfect cloudy winter day walking around the city..it moves and calms.
lukid's foma is a killer as well..maybe the best non toronto album of the year so far! (seek out Kanada 70's Me Kanumble for the gold nugget of TO!)
