Darkstar releases new album 'Foam Island' on October 2nd

Warp are pleased to announce the release of Darkstar’s third studio album Foam Island. The album deals in contemporary electronic-pop interlaced with powerful statements of community, society and hope in the 21st century.

To celebrate the announce the duo are also streaming album track ‘Pin Secure’. The song is a mutated, Darkstar filtered version of Neptunes-style R&B, with Aiden Whalley's heavily treated vocals integrating perfectly with an atmospheric yet direct beat.

It also hints at the themes stitched throughout the album; political isolation, social disillusionment and personal ambition.
