If You Can Win Go Dark's Bitchsword Video Game, Their EP is Your Prize

...As we get one step closer to 8-bit singularity.

Mysterious Oakland duo Go Dark make tunes that sound like a vaguely twee Crystal Castles, and that's pretty much all we know about them. They're keeping their identities tightly under wraps, but something tells us there's a lil bit of Anticon affiliation going on here. Maybe. Sorta.

The duo are opening for weirdo-pop legends Deerhoof on a five-stop tour launching in the middle of this month. In the meantime, we challenge you to take on Go Dark's Bitchsword: The Video Game, a pixellated journey through the minds of whatever weirdos make this creepy/cool tunage.

In the game, 'lil pixellated you gets to slash your way through a whole host of weird and wacky club-goers. When they're all slain, and ONLY WHEN THEY'RE ALL SLAIN, you get to enjoy yourself some Go Dark. Check it out:
