DARKSIDE

Darkside create a wholly modern mélange of psychedelia, art rock, Tropicalia, and house, among other styles. Experimental dance music producer Nicolas Jaar and his touring guitarist Dave Harrington formed Darkside as a duo and received much acclaim for their full-length studio debut, Psychic (2013), as well as their intense and sprawling concerts, documented on releases such as Psychic Live July 17 2014 (2020). After they made their seams less visible with Spiral (2021), they installed Tlacael Esparza, introduced on Live at Spiral House (2023). The release of "Graucha Max" (2024), Darkside's rambunctious first single as a trio, was coordinated with the start of an extensive cross-continental tour. The parent album Nothing (2025) appeared before the North American leg.
