Darkside – Psychic

Darkside – Psychic (Other People / Matador)

Darkside producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington met at Brown University back when Jaar was forming a live band to tour with him in support of his excellent 2011 album, Space is Only Noise. The duo follows up their terse but titillating 2011 debut EP and occasionally ingenious full album remix of Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories with this proper full length debut. While Jaar’s love of slinky grooves and cosmic ambiance is in evidence all over the album, Harrington’s sharp, staccato fretwork gives Jaar’s already expansive signature sound an unprecedented depth. Psychic’s cover depicts a crystal ball presumably used for prophesying, and the metaphor is apt, for if you immerse yourself in this visionary album, you’ll end up feeling like you’ve seen the future.
