We’ve been fans of Nicholas Jaar’s electronic soundscapes for quite some time.  His album Space is Only Noise was amongst our favorite albums of 2011.  Thus it’s no surprise that we have quickly glommed onto Darkside, his new collaboration with guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington.   To get a feel for this comely combo, check out their stellar performance on KCRW of Paper Trails off their recently-released debut album Psychic, which you can buy HERE.  Watch/listen-to this mesmerizing amalgam of electronica with African and Jamaican-dub influences while twelve and a half minutes float intriguingly by.  King Sunny meet King Tubby on the Darkside.  You can watch the entire KCRW session HERE.  If you like what you hear and see, you can listen to even more Darkside and remixes HERE.  Darkside will return on tour to the West Coast in January (they will play the Fonda on 1/25), and all dates can be found HERE.
