Formerly named Sarsparilla, Diamond Dagger’s spent the last year or so playing live with David Kitt as New Jackson and with the exception of a Goodtime remix , things have been quiet enough. His newest EP breaks that silence with four tracks of ’80s drum machine electro goodness and a weird-ass album artwork to boot with tracks like the hypnotic electro funk of ‘HArdDrive’, the neon synths of ‘Breed Deep’ and the Kraftwerk meets Minimal Wave of ‘Bounce And Dare’.
