DARKSIDE Announce Debut LP 'Psychic' Out October 8 On Other People/ Matador

 
"I thought I was making a dance record."
"I thought I was making a rock record."
"We both failed."
- Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington of DARKSIDE

DARKSIDE is comprised of electronic producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. They formed the band in 2011 after touring together for several years and experimenting with each others' sounds. Drawing on their vastly different backgrounds, each musician channels himself through the other, resulting in a progressive hybrid of electronic music and psychedelic rock with an otherworldly depth.

On October 8th, DARKSIDE will release their debut full length 'Psychic' via Jaar's own Other People label under license to Matador Records. When the band unveiled opening song "Golden Arrow" to fans in August, Pitchfork promptly named it "Best New Track" and SPIN called it "darkly gorgeous...instrumental excellence."

'Psychic' is a ritualistic song cycle, exploring rock's cosmic outer edges through the immersive, body-moving framework of 21st-century house and techno. It follows the band's acclaimed 2011 'DARKSIDE' EP, as well as their full-album remix of Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories' that quickly racked up nearly 3,000,000 streams on Soundcloud upon release earlier this summer.

'Psychic' Track List:
1. Golden Arrow
2. Sitra
3. Heart
4. Paper Trails
5. The Only Shrine I've Seen
6. Freak, Go Home
