Blood Orange

Two or three years tend to pass between Dev Hynes' Blood Orange LPs, so it was a surprise when Angel's Pulse arrived only 11 months after Negro Swan. Upon this set's release, Hynes said that he often writes and records immediately after the completion of each project and keeps the material to himself or a small circle of recipients. In this case, he chose to publicize his supplemental work, terming it a mixtape yet (accurately) deeming it consequential enough to make available on physical formats.
