From a studio near the sea, Dublin’s David Kitt continues his New Jackson adventures, making nocturnal house jams with a ghostly disco tint. After releasing the solid “The Night Mail” EP on local label Pogo Recordings in 2011, New Jackson returns with his gorgeous debut release “Sat Around Here Waiting” for John Talabot’s label, Hivern Discs. His new 12” also features two remixes by Fort Romeau and Pional. Give “Sat Around Here Waiting” a spin above, and shoot out the lights.

New Jackson’s new 12″, “Sat Around Here Waiting” EP, will be released on March 4th.

We suggest you revisit New Jackson’s cool animated video for their great tune “The Night Mail”. Directed by Fergal Brennan.
