Platform is the second studio album by American electronic producer Holly Herndon, released on 19 May 2015 via 4AD. The album received critical acclaim upon its release.
Platform was the first album to include a track, "Lonely at the Top", intended to trigger Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).
Winston Cook-Wilson of Pitchfork Media wrote that "Platform may turn out to be the most thought-provoking experimental electronic music release of the year." Laurie Tuffrey of The Quietus wrote that "in so solidly refuting musical clichés, it can genuinely lay claim to the oft-used description forward-facing."The Guardian's Tshepo Mokoena wrote that "[Herndon] turns cold, lifeless synthetic beats into disconcerting, disjointed rhythms that glitch and collapse on each other", describing the album as "gloriously avant garde and fiercely inventive."Drowned in Sound wrote that "at once Herndon’s most accessible and most adventurous record, this is digital age avant-garde sound art put through a pop prism, and it’s all the more exciting as a result." Heather Phares of AllMusic described the album as "nuanced in how it combines political, technological and structural and ideological concepts."
All music composed by Holly Herndon.
