Check out Vancouver producer Blood Diamonds (aka Mike Tucker) brand new single “Phone Sex” guest starting the incredible and strangely fascinating Grimes!

The track’s amazing steel drum kicks and island-tinged groove along with Grimes’ ever-so-dreamy vocals are only a few reasons why this track should be A MUST HAVE on your next summer playlist!

I LOVE THIS TRACK!

Tucker tells Pitchfork:

We wanted to do a big pop song and wrote it in my bedroom in a night. I played the track later that week at a Blood Diamonds show with Claire as the secret guest. It was ridiculous. We wore LED glasses and projected the PS2 game “Rez” onto a mise-en-scène of “Twin Peaks”, whilst performing on a slippery stage due to the opening act (ice skaters on fake ice dancing to a David Lynch cover orchestra). Later that month, I reproduced “Phone Sex” with halo drums and we re-wrote the lyrics together. When Claire came over to work on those, I didn’t have my phone on me and she slept on my complex’s porch for half an hour, I still feel bad about it. The song was mixed down in Kansas City on a board which was also used on Thriller (mostly did this for laughs).

Blood Diamond‘s ‘Phone Sex – EP’ arrives on 12-inch via 4AD. on July 24.
