Darkstar are set to release their third album, Foam Island, in October. To celebrate the announcement, the duo dropped a new, R&B-inspired track. "Pin Secure" is packed full of pleasing, gurgling synth tones, and the stolid beat comes lightly dusted with the rat-a-tat high hats that characterize so much modern hip-hop and R&B. During the hook, one particularly flowery synth makes an appearance, just as the vocals push towards a pulse-quickening falsetto.
The last Darkstar album, News From Nowhere, came out in February 2013. Foam Island hits stores October 2. Listen to "Pin Secure" below, pre-order the new full-length here, and revisit the group's FADER mix.
