Darkside Confirms "Psychic Tour" Band's First Headlining North American Tour

'Psychic', the debut album by DARKSIDE (Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington) was released last week via Other People/Matador.

On the heels on their sold-out shows in London, Berlin and Brussels, the band announce the "Psychic Tour"; DARKSIDE's first headlining North American tour including dates at LA's Music Box and NYC's Terminal 5 (see schedule below).

DARKSIDE recently previewed their live show with a performance of "Paper Trails" for Resident Advisor. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/PAAUqBghiVo



Over the weekend, The NY Times Magazine ran a feature on DARKSIDE, including a behind-the-scenes rehearsal photo, and NPR Weekend Edition aired an interview with Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, calling the album, "scary meets catchy." Listen to the NPR interview here: http://shorefi.re/1enZQc6
