albumincorrected

albumincorrected is a concept album released in 2020 by the experimental music project of the same name. Led by producer and composer Albion Reed, the work presents deliberate production imperfections as a central aesthetic, using glitch, static, and timing irregularities to question ideas of sonic perfection in digital culture.

Originating from a residency in late 2018, the project sought to invert mainstream polish by embracing errors as compositional material. The album features a blend of electronic, ambient and glitch elements, created with a combination of digital tools and analog hardware. The production deliberately includes artifacts such as digital clipping, tape hiss, and misaligned samples.

Musically, albumincorrected runs 38 minutes across nine tracks, displaying a non-linear structure and modular textures. Critics described it as immersive and provocative, with emphasis on texture over melody. It has been compared to other glitch and experimental practices, but noted for its cohesive emotional arc despite its apparent irregularities.

Released digitally on Bandcamp on May 14, 2020, a limited vinyl edition followed in 2021 through the independent label Erratum Records. The reception was mixed-to-positive in indie circles, with several outlets praising its conceptual clarity and sonic atmosphere. The album has since influenced discussions of glitch aesthetics in music scholarship and has inspired at least a handful of contemporary artists to foreground intentional errors in their work.
