Why do we like this?

DARKSIDE is a side project from Nicolas Jaar and the talented Dave Harrington.  Starting with an EP in 2011 and following up with their popular Random Access Memories Memories earlier this year, the duo is prepping to release their album Psychic on October 8 via Nicolas Jaar's new imprint Other People.

Returning to a very classic "Space Is Only Noise" sound, "Paper Trails" lumbers with the sort of experimental Western vibe that only Nicolas Jaar can produce.  With blusey guitar and Nico's heavy, apathetic sounding vocals, this track is exactly right to attract Nico fans.  Each instrument adds a subtle layer of mystery poaches from some undefined yesteryear, building to a stratification of perfect, beautiful noise.

If you missed it, check out the first 11 minutes of Psychic here.

By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 18, 2016 | It blows my mind that it's taken until 2016 to give a proper homage to the awesomeness of the song. It's been sitting on the site for 3 years now without a review, so it's high time I change that. "Mi Mujer" is perhaps Nico's most-famous single, a r... read more →

By Elizabeth Walker on Nov 12, 2011 | Although not a new track from this year, Nicolas Jaar's remix of Kasper Bjørke's "Heaven" is still more than noteworthy. What can I say, it's just... uh, heavenly. This remix is solid, showcasing flippant piano/jazz saturated with smoky vocals an... read more →
