Description

Actual Life 3 (January 1 - September 9 2022) is the third in a series of albums documenting Fred Gibson's life since the beginning of the pandemic. All three records weld personal artifacts to beats that farm the fertile crescent between sweetness and melancholy, the kind of stuff that would wow a crowd during a sunset.

Actual Life 3 has plenty of swoon-worthy moments: "Delilah (pull me out of this)" beams with childlike wonder and imagination, while "Kelly (end of a nightmare)" and "Bleu (better with time)" pop with the pneumatic rhythms and samples of the best post-dubstep tracks.

Gibson is undeniably a massive talent, first catching the ear of his family's neighbour Brian Eno when he was just 16. In just a few years he's blazed a path across the mainstream and the underground in a way that few of his peers have been able to. Anthemic dance music is second nature to him, and you get the feeling that he can whip up these tracks with his eyes closed.
