Blood Orange- Coastal Grooves (CD)

Dev Hynes is an international man of mystery and the busiest musician on the planet. As if his work as Lightspeed Champion and Test Icicles or co-writing with Theophilus London and Solange Knowles wasn't enough, Hynes has another project: Blood Orange. Blood Orange finds Hynes delving deeper into '80s American musical culture, crossing elements of melancholy synthetic pop with a twangy noir, composing songs exploring the harsh realities of romantic pursuits: longing, uspicion, jealousy, self-doubt and loneliness, to name but a few.
