Nicolas Jaar Essentials

Nicolas Jaar Essentials

NYC's Nicolas Jaar came of age as the trippy experimentalist in the underground techno crew Wolf + Lamb, using found sounds and plaintive vocals to add further mystery to smoky cuts that flirt with layers of ambient, dub and shoegaze guitar. This collection journeys through after-hours specials like the delirious "Russian Dolls" and the heavy-lidded, narcotic compositions of 2011's Space Is Only Noise LP. Jaar also delves into vertiginous, shadowy ambience on songs like “A1” from DARKSIDE, his duo with guitarist Dave Harrington, with reverb, delay and melancholy tying it all together.
