Dark Web is a studio album by American producer Keith Rankin, known by his stage name Giant Claw, released in September 2014 worldwide by the labels Orange Milk Records, Noumenal Loom, and in Japan by Virgin Babylon.

Dark Web follows Giant Claw's typical style of samples and MIDI compositions but with more influences of modern music than Rankin's previous records.

Dark Web garnered a favorable critical response for its odd tone and landed in the year-end lists of publications such as Tiny Mix Tapes and CMJ.

[6] The album is meant to portray "late night browsing sessions gone wrong, when YouTube clips and SoundCloud links and iTunes tracks melt together in an amalgam of cultural signposts and musical signifiers," stated Fact magazine.

"[8] The first layer was the primary compositional elements, "things people are used to picking up on instantly," including rhythm, melody, harmonic structure, and timbre.

"[8] Nick James Scavo of Tiny Mix Tapes analyzed that Dark Web, uses "common-denominator images and sounds: romanesque statue, 808 kick-and-snare, stock-MIDI hoopla, R&B voice samples, etc.

"[9] As journalist Lizzie Plaugic analyzed, the album has an "atmosphere of horny apocalyptic nihilism" that derives from its mixture of "effortless sensuality and battery-charged electronics.

"[2] Scavp also compared the LP to R Plus Seven but wrote that while R Plus Seven "was a formal deconstruction, Giant Claw’s approach is perhaps more confrontational in its pace, its insanity, its sheer relentlessness in giving in to far-out impulses and emotional indulgence.

"[10] Dummy magazine claimed that "there’ll still be plenty to come back to on Dark Web over the next few months," praising the album's "playful" sample editing and "legitimately emotive harmonic expression.
