Album Review: Darkside - Spiral

“Now both with several years’ more experience and experimentation behind them, Jaar and Harrington can combine their musical trajectories to guide us to a wholly unique and unexplored area of the space-time continuum. The very first tones heard on opening track “Narrow Road” are metallic rustles, and it feels like stepping through the Stargate into their newly-found universe, perspiration immediately trickling down the back of your neck. This is a very humid, swamp-like world, thickets of sound enclosing you, the air around the instrumentation dense with potential.”

I had the joy of reviewing Spiral, the long-awaited second album from Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, aka Darkside. Head to BPM for my full piece.
