Here's a beautiful, soaring new jam from Vancouver producer Blood Diamonds, featuring a haunting hook/vocal sample(?) that elevates this one into his biggest, most infectious tune yet. Taken from his forthcoming Grins / Move the Stars 7" single -- which will apparently feature a Holy Other remix -- due next month on Transparent: mp3: _____________ previously: mp3:

Here's the latest from our dudes at Transparent: the b-side from Purity Ring's beautiful/brilliant debut 7" single, Ungirthed.

The Transparent love continues with this utterly entrancing new jam/ghostly lament from Berlin's Holy Other. Like his glowing previous track "Blissters," "YR LOVE" is warm and enveloping, but also carries an undeniable tinge of sadness and regret thanks in part to some haunted, eerily mournful vocal samples...
