Album Notes & Community Reviews

Darren Cunningham returns with a distinctly chromed-out, futuristic interpretation of his typically murky, lo-fi electronic sound. Supposedly conceptualized around the aesthetics of chrome and the art of James Hampton, the album is heavily rhythmic, blending erratic microhouse programming with abstract, mechanical synthesizer tones. It functions as a brilliant, deeply alienating late-night club record.
