Darkside, Nicolás Jaar and Dave Harrington’s collaboration project, released their debut album, Psychic, in 2013. For a long period, that was pretty much it from the duo, but things has just changed. They began teasing their return toward the close of last year, and their new album, Spiral, was officially unveiled last month. The album is slated to be released in July, but they’ve already released several sneak peeks.
They’ve now added another to that list with the release of “Lawmaker” today. Rhythmic guitar and bass, as well as some storytelling words, drive the unsettling new song.
The duo commented about their return in an earlier statement, with Jaar noting, “From the beginning, Darkside has been our jam band.” On our days off, we did this. We got back together because we couldn’t wait to jam with each other again. ” Harrington also added, “It felt like it was time again. We do things in this band that we would never do on our own. Darkside is the third being in the room that just kind of occurs when we make music together.”
