Blood Diamonds is gearing up for the release of his single 'Phone Sex', a K-pop influenced collaboration with Grimes that FADER called "a beautiful wash of pop, suited to soundtrack a fantasy game of volleyball where you nail every shot." Out next Tuesday, July 24th, on 4AD, 'Phone Sex' is available digitally and on transparent pink vinyl, with cover art by Elite Gymnastics.
The single is backed by 'Ritual', a trancey pop number overlaid with Diamond's distinctive, gender-warped vocals. In regards to the track, which was released this morning, Diamond noted, “After such an upfront track like 'Phone Sex', there needed to be a reply to the notion of dancing all night. A cyborg-ish desire to be human is quite a contrast to being in that perfect moment."

Blood Diamonds, aka Michael Diamond, a Los Angeles-based pop artist best known for his luxurious dreamscapes and infectious, sun-dipped production, is set to release a new 12", titled Phone Sex. Available on transparent pink vinyl as well as digitally, the single is out on July 24th (North America) on 4AD.
Having a background in classical and modernistic jazz from his adolescence in Kansas City, Blood Diamonds further cultivated his individualist sound while completing a degree in video game design in Vancouver. Ultimately, Blood Diamonds offers lush, ambient synthetics with delicately intertwined island percussion and misty basslines. Flowing rapidly between borderline theatrics, Blood Diamonds paints a theme of delirium, misguided lust, false eternity and visual radiance.
