Description
Blood Orange: Negro Swan (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP
“The underlying thread is the idea of Hope.” Dev Hynes’ fourth album as Blood Orange came two whole years after the technicolor pop collage of Freetown Sound. Negro Swan is very much a Blood Orange album for our current dystopia, a sharing of the multitude of traumas of the black experience. Gentle funk instrumentation belies the lyrical brutality of album opener “Orlando”, while his sunny guitar licks make a long-awaited return on album highlight “Charcoal Baby”. The album is a continuously shifting experience, with thought-provoking and surprising interludes and fragments occurring before, during, and after each track. Recorded on-the-go in studios across the world, this record features guest appearances including Puff Daddy, Tei Shi, A$AP Rocky and Project Pat. Two LPs pressed on 180 gram orange vinyl.
