DARKSIDE
“Ruthlessly opposed to the corporate machinery of a sponsored and branded world, DARKSIDE reinvented the jam band as a conceptual art opus.” – The Washington Post
DARKSIDE was formed in 2011 by Chilean electronic musician Nicolás Jaar, American multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington, and drummer Tlacael Esparza. Their debut studio album, Psychic, was released in 2013 and was followed up by Spiral, released in 2021 after a lengthy hiatus. The band recently released a new song, “Graucha Max.” Completed during sessions last year, the track is loose and live – at once evoking vintage Tropicalia, digital dancehall, and krautrock. It is the first studio composition that the band has released as a trio and a preview of things to come.
