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 multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington, with reverb, delay, and melancholy tying it all together.
