Hot off the heels of last year's excellent Foam Island LP, the electronic duo Darkstar have released a new track featuring the singer / songwriter Lorely Rodriguez, aka Empress Of.

After a preliminary trip to Nevada as a spectator, he'd eventually start spinning on the playa, spreading a uniquely melodic and melancholic sound to the event's many sound camps and mutant art cars.
