About
— The Analog Vault // Essential Listening —
Made up of electronic composer/producer Nicolas Jaar and experimental multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington - Darkside explores the nocturnal horizons of ambient, electronica and minimal techno through the prism of space-rock and psychedelia. Their exceptional debut album, released via Matador in 2013, is a perfect example of their multi-dimensional eclecticism.
Psychic is expansive and meticulously constructed - filled with gloriously protracted sonic explorations (refer to the interminable opener ““Golden Arrow”) and impossibly lush productions (refer to the subliminal track “Paper Trails”) that sound simultaneously alien yet hypnotically soothing. Jaar’s extraterrestrial electronic textures are transfixing, but Harrington’s blues-inflected guitar work humanises everything, coating Psychic’s cosmic metal skeleton with flesh and sinew – resulting in the creation of one truly atmospheric record of multi-dimensional depth. - The Analog Vault
DARKSIDE is the collaboration of electronic musician Nicolas Jaar and Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist, guitarist/composer Dave Harrington. DARKSIDE summon a hybrid of electronic music, psychedelic rock, and dancefloor techno with the sort of artistic depth and breadth for which the term “progressive” was coined. DARKSIDE’s first full length album—released on Jaar’s own Other People label in conjunction with Matador Records—is called Psychic.
DARKSIDE’s Psychic is a watershed moment for the duo, a quantum leap forward from their 3-song debut, 2011’s DARKSIDE EP. At any given moment, Psychic encompasses the ritualistic structures and methodologies of krautrock, the cosmic exploration of classic space-rock, and the immersive, body-moving transcendence of 21st century house and techno—but, working with the finishing each- others’-sentences fluidity of kindred spirits, Dave and Nicolas synthesize it all into a living, breathing whole. DARKSIDE are deep listeners and creators." — via Label
