ACT! is David Psutka, the Toronto based musician and producer whose other aliases include Egyptrixx, Anamai and Ceramic TL. Following the release of the mixtape-style Universalist in 2018 and last year’s Grey Matter AR, a Snapchat based augmented reality collaboration with artist Karen Vanderborght, Strange Bounty/About Life is ACT!’s debut album proper. Written and performed primarily on guitar, its palette of faintly dystopian electronics, unnerving ambience and scorched pulses braid psychedelia with ecstatic groove.
