Statik (album)

Statik is the tenth studio album by British electronic musician Actress, released 7 June 2024 via Smalltown Supersound.

[1] Composed during what the artist described as an "extensive flow state",[2] Statik is Actress' first full-length project through Smalltown Supersound; his previous album, LXXXVIII was released via Ninja Tune.

[5] Dash Lewis of Pitchfork characterized Statik as "soft and unsettling", praising the album's ability to evoke "dread-filled anticipation".

[2] Daniel Bromfield of Resident Advisor described the album as Actress' most "accessible" work to date and noted that while Cunningham was "at the peak of his powers", Statik offered a more subdued experience for listeners.

It might be surprising how often it verges on "coffee table," though any lounging it inspires would be at least a little uneasy, like waiting for a curfew to lift or a state of emergency to expire.
