Actress has announced their new album Radical Frame will drop on September 18 via Ninja Tune Records, along with the news, Actress has released the official video for new single “Overchord” directed by Anna van der Velde. The announcement and new track follows singles “Live By You (feat. CASISDEAD)” and last-year’s collaboration with Suzanne Ciani for “Concrète Waves.”

“The idea of the black avant-garde exists, as it were, oxymoronically – as if black, on the one hand, and avant-garde, on the other hand, each depends for its coherence on the exclusion of the other. Now this is probably an overstatement of the case. Yet it’s all but justified by a vast interdisciplinary text representative not only of a problematically positivist conclusion that the avant-garde has been exclusively Euro-American, but of a deeper, perhaps unconscious, formulation of the avant-garde as necessarily not black. Part of what I’m after now is this: an assertion that the avant-garde is a black thing.”

– Fred Moten

Darren Cunningham has lived a life, even before the creation of Actress, Cunningham the footballer. Cunningham the Wulfrunian. Cunningham the ex-footballer. Cunningham the DJ. Cunningham the Londoner. Cunningham the producer. Cunningham the painter. Cunningham the writer. Cunningham the composer.
