Vocalist Tristan Carter-Jones, bassist Scott Jet Kramp, drummer Steve Ross, and guitarist Eddy Marshall comprise funky four-piece Dakota Jones. The group released their debut album Black Light in 2021, exciting the soul and funk press. They indulge in bluesy swagger on newest single “Sugar Pie”, helmed by Carter-Jones’ inviting alto and fiery licks of organ. “It’s the effortless cool of a gang of two, walking in step through streets paved with sugar under a plush pink sky,” the band says. “Don’t know where you’re going and you don’t care. It’s rose-coloured glasses on the tip of your nose, and kisses like cotton candy.”
