‘80s L.A. hair metal at its most glammed-out. Trashy frontman with a huge range? Check. Bulky drummer with mascara? Check. Dueling guitarists with cool last names? Check. Skip past the obvious smash “Round and Round,” and check out “Back for More,” “The Morning After,” and “Scene of the Crime.”

Carrying even fewer body-moving rhythms than 2010's Splazsh, this completely abstract, mostly ambient set -- maverick Darren Cunningham's third album as Actress -- is full of superbly creative, evocative, and mind-altering material. It's more likely to appeal to dancefloor-allergic space cadets who lean on Oneohtrix Point Never and Autechre.
