Recording a perfect cassette mixtape from the radio requires careful tuning, commercial dodging, and the technical dexterity of leaping to your radio’s speaker to catch a beloved song midair. The playback of this now dated practice can be disarming by today’s standards, each song carrying the specific atmosphere of the room it was recorded in, songs cut off or captured in media res, wrenched from their contexts, an incohesive whole. On his new Blood Orange release, Angel’s Pulse, British singer, songwriter, producer, and composer Dev Hynes returns to the snapshot aesthetics of the cassette mixtape age, presenting his sketchbook as the product itself.
从录音室里录制一张完美的混音带，需要对调音的斟酌，对商业的躲避，以及在技术上能娴熟地【跳跃到你的录音机扬声器前来抓住一首正合意的歌】。按照现在的标准，血橙这张混音带的释出具有能让人消除敌意的力量。每首歌都带着录制时录音室里特定的气氛，包括一些歌曲的戛然而止，包括选取片段式的叙事，包括被截取的上下文，促成了一张散打式的专辑。

On previous albums, Hynes used the disarming, suggestive power of abrupt transitions to join together contrasting musical textures and moods. But while 2016’s Freetown Sound and 2018’s Negro Swan are cinematic both in their production and overarching themes, Angel’s Pulse, Blood Orange’s shortest collection of songs, feels like scanning radio stations in a lovingly nostalgic memory straight from the ’90s and early ’00s.
在以往的专辑中，血橙将对比性的乐段与情绪融为一体，形成一股令人消除戒备的，暗示的力量。他2016年和2018年的两张专辑，在制作和中心化的主题上都有电影式的特色。而这张Angel’s Pulse，血橙最短的专辑，更令人感觉像在90年代末期和00年代伊始之时，带着满腹浓酽的乡愁，不断拨弄着收音机调台的旋钮。

The synth and drum machine-driven minimalism of “Baby Florence (Figure)” juts up against gauzy low-fi Southern hip-hop track “Gold Teeth” featuring Memphis legends Project Pat and Gangsta Boo. Low-key dance song “Dark and Handsome” featuring Toro Y Moi, turns chopped and screwed before giving way to the ’80s pop-tinted “Benzo.” There’s a joyful lightness to it all, helped in part by the fact Angel’s Pulse comes less than a year after the heavy but bracing survey of black queer alienation on Negro Swan.
Baby Florence (Figure)对合成器和机械鼓极简化的运用，与轻纱似的南部嘻哈lofi track“Gold Teeth” (featuring Memphis legends Project Pat and Gangsta Boo)形成鲜明对照。暗调舞曲Dark and Handsome，在结束时被突然劈开，来为了给具有80年代pop色彩的Benzo让路。整张混音带具有欢乐的色彩，部分上由这样的事实帮助----上一张专辑Negro Swan进行了对黑人奇怪的内部分歧深刻而令人振奋的调查，在不到一年内又来了Angel's Pulse。

In a statement about Angel’s Pulse, Hynes explained that he has a habit of collecting random songs and material from album recording sessions and giving them informally to friends and strangers, if he shares them at all. Angel’s Pulse, one of those collections that he instead chose to release widely, is an exercise in testing the weight labels, listeners, and artists in particular put on what they choose to share with the world. Is art only worthwhile when honed and ordered in service to a monumental statement or purpose? Hynes makes a convincing argument for the preciousness of fragments, one-offs, leftovers, and what they evoke when arrayed with care and passion.
在近期的声明中，血橙透露出自己有一个小癖好，喜欢在专辑录制时随意地收集歌曲片段和材料，并无偿送给朋友们甚至陌生人，哪怕全部都泄露了出去。而这张混音带的诞生，是他的一次尝试，测试重量级的厂牌，听众，艺术家会不会选择这种作品分享给世界。只有在磨练和服务于一个伟大的声明或目的时，艺术才有价值吗？血橙用那些demo的珍贵性，以及它们在精心编排时所唤起的东西，对这个问题进行了一次令人信服的论证。
