​In this 21st century world where even your grandmother’s getting busy with the Facebooks, MySpacies, and Ashley Madisons, there’s something mysterious and exotic and enticing about a young lady who can’t be found anywhere on the interweb. So when a fanboy asks Google, Who is Diamond Hymen?, and gets absolutely nothing in return … The intensity of his musical crush becomes almost unbearably massive. Dude needs data, pronto. 

Luckily then, there remain a few real-world matchmakers, such as local vinyl label Roofless Records, entirely dedicated to helping fanboy-idol hookups happen. And when asked, Who is Diamond Hymen?, Roofless head honcho Matt didn’t sputter and shrug his shoulders like Google. Infinitely more knowledgeable than search engines, he said: “It’s a one-woman project by Jasmine Varga, the former bassist and keyboardist from Sarasota psych punks Pharaoh Faucett. She sorta sounds like a psychedelic and raunchy Ace of Base by way of K Records pop.” 

Umm … Perfect! Now, download today’s free track “Cutting Teeth,” a super-exclusive rough cut from the demo tapes for Diamond Hymen’s upcoming Roofless release. Then go meet the “heat wave synthesizer diva” face-to-face when she plays the American Legion alongside fellow mystery musician(s), Nashville’s Outmode, as well as three of her more socially networked friends Dino Felipe, Flux Forces, and Goatslacker.
