Terrestrial Access Network - AC4LA
Colin Sullivan’s work as Terrestrial Access Network has long explored the outer edges of electro and machine funk, and with AC4LA, he sharpens that vision into something lean, bright, and unexpectedly playful. Released via Alien Communications, the album doubles as a fundraiser for LA wildfire relief efforts, with all proceeds going to support firefighters and displaced animals—a fitting gesture for a record so full of warmth and life. Sullivan’s tracks move with quick, lightweight beats and a muscular bounce, delivering a classic electro take on the future.
Across eight tracks, AC4LA offers a colorful, cohesive ride through unpredictable terrain. There’s a refined sense of fun throughout. Trancey synth textures spiral upward, rhythms stutter and lock into odd grooves, and machine chatter feels expressive rather than clinical. Even at its most intricate, the album avoids overthinking things, favoring a directness that invites movement. It’s muscled, kinetic, and polished.
