Artist Actress
Title Ghettoville
Label Ninja Tune
Actress, aka Darren Cunningham, returns with ‘Ghettoville’, preceded only by a static-ridden transmission: “‘Ghettoville’ is the bleached out and black tinted conclusion of the Actress image... R.I.P Music 2014. Actress”

‘Ghettoville’ is the spiritual sequel to 2008’s ‘Hazyville’, originally released on Actress’s own Werkdiscs label. Chronologically, this follows 2010’s ‘Splazsh’ and 2012’s ‘R.I.P.’ which were both released to critical acclaim on Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz)’s Honest Jon’s label.

Artist Africa Hitech
Title 93 Million Miles
Label Warp
Africa Hitech are Mark Pritchard (of Harmonic 313 / Global Communications / countless more psuedonyms’ fame) and Steve Spacek (of Spacek fame and notable Dilla collaborator).  They began bonding over their shared passion for the seemingly disparate spheres of bubbling Detroit techno, soul and fierce Jamaican digital dancehall. Africa Hitech is the moniker which represents both Steve and Mark’s love for all things progressive within music, whilst acknowledging that the roots of much of today’s popular music can be traced directly back to Africa.

Artist Amiina
Title Kurr
Label Ever

Amiina are 4 Icelandic ladies, sometime Sigur Ros collaborators who have also worked with Efterklang.  Their last release set our world alight and here’s the full length release we’ve been waiting for.  Think minimal but sweeping sounds are created with a whole range of expertly played instrments (strings, brass, drums, harpsichord) and use is made of less conventional ’instruments’ such as wine glasses, bells, metalophones, Celtic harps, water glasses, musical saws, glockenspiels and kalimbas.  All this is set off with a bit of subdued wonderment creating an evocative and distinctively Icelandic sound.

Artist Apparat
Title Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre)
Label Mute

Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre) is a soundtrack for theatre production War and Peace by German electronic artist Sascha Ring, aka Apparat. The entire project was commissioned by German art festival Ruhrfestspiele and directed by Sebastian Harmann, who involved Ring from the outset. The record veers away from the swelling beats that are a staple of Apparat’s own sound to concentrate on the atmospheric drones and noise that are intersected by the wonderful, melodic motifs here.

Artist Olafur Arnalds
Title For Now I am Winter (Bo2013 Steve)
Label Decca
For Now I Am Winter is Ólafur Arnalds’ third full-length studio album. His earlier albums, soundtracks and EPs, have been released through the Berlin based cult label Erased Tapes.

Building and expanding on his previous more minimalist work, Arnalds’ new album is his first to involve a full orchestra (coarranged by Nico Muhly) and a vocalist (Agent Fresco lead singer Arnór Dan) on selected tracks, making it his most broadly appealing work to date.

Artist Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm
Title Collaborative Works
Label Erased Tapes
Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm announce Double-CD release ‘Collaborative Works’ – comprising all three vinyl EPs ‘Loon’, ‘Stare’ and ‘Life Story Love And Glory’ as well as 7 new songs from their ‘Trance Frendz’ studio film
"The music on this CD is a collection of our studio collaborations from recent years. We would meet in Reykjavik or Berlin with the intention to share some days off work, hiking, swimming or eating pizza. That is great for a couple days, but after a while we would always end up back in the studio, fiddling with synths or pianos. This collection of recordings cannot be an album. It will remain a collage of our studio experiments of the past. It simply is convenient to have them all together here."

Artist Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm
Title Life Story / Love And Glory [7"]
Label Erased Tapes
Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm reveal a new 7” single titled ‘Life Story Love and Glory’ following on from their recently re-issued 2012 collaborative EP ‘Stare’.

Erased Tapes artists and friends Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm have separately carved out a musical career that defies genres both with their unique live shows and a loyal fan base that’s always eager to hear what their prolific output will bring.

Their latest collaborative 2-track release ‘Life Story Love and Glory’ is a live improv affair on two pianos, recorded in 2012 at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin. Fans may wonder why they have waited until 2015 to release these tracks, but having revealed a new website www.arnaldsfrahm.com you may think this may not be the end to their musical story this year.
