Dev Hynes will release a new Blood Orange album/mixtape this Friday, July 12th entitled Angel’s Pulse.
“My new record is called Angel’s Pulse & I performed, produced and mixed the entire thing myself,” he says. “I’m calling it a mixtape.”
“I have a habit through the years of making records that I just give to friends, or on tape to people on the street, or no one. Usually this material is made directly after the album I’ve just put out. Somewhat of an epilogue to the thing I’ve made before. This time I decided to release it.”
“I put as much work and care into it as I do with the albums I’ve released, but for some reason trained myself into not releasing things the rate at which I make them. I’m older now though, and life is unpredictable and terrifying….so here you go mates.”
Hynes will spend most of October supporting Tyler, The Creator around North America, and is a part of British Summer Time at London’s Hyde Park the day after this release.
