after nearly 8 years, nicolas jaar and dave harrington are back together as darkside with their new album “spiral”. pressed on black double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
taken from a mysterious acetate cut by derrick may in 1987 this release was originally penned for kms offshoot pheerce citi. both these sides were later released - the darkside = as a relic (by longer than long ago) and tic tic tic was later released on the limited edition compilation as music institute 20th anniversary as untitled. both tracks are however, very hard to get on vinyl and have now been re issued as loud 45rpm pressings in pheerce citi artwork and remastered for 2014. great techno obscurity!

darkside is the collaborative duo of guitarist/composer dave harrington and electronic producer nicolas jaar. 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. darksides first fulllength album-released on nicos own other people label in conjunction with matador records-is called psychic. darksides psychic is a watershed moment for the duo, a quantum leap forward from their 3-song debut, 2011s 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 finishingeach- others’-sentences fluidity of kindred spirits, dave and nico synthesize it all into a living, breathing whole.
the ep begins innocently enough. but as you progress into the tracks, entitled a1, a2, and a3, it feels like searching for pleasure where you know you shouldnt. the beat in this clandestine affair has just enough restraint. by the time darkside concludes, you know the catharsis is worth the sin.
