Actress announces their ninth studio album, LXXXVIII

LXXXVIII includes the recent avant-garde single, “Push Power ( a 1 )”, a track which laid the groundwork for the coming album, acting as the first move in an intricate chess game as it was the acclaimed electronic artist’s first solo music since last year's "Dummy Corporation".

Not only does chess reflect the precise physicality of the artist’s material interactions in his studio, it also illustrates the intricate and tactical, internal and aesthetic battles which brokered LXXXVIII’s creation.

Recently Cunningham challenged people to play a bullet round of chess against him online, which then led the opponent to a site that hosted a trailer of the forthcoming album.

Prior to that his 2020 album Karma & Desire — which saw guest collaborations from Mercury Prize winner Sampha, Zsela and Aura T-09.
