Listen to DARKSIDE's Psychic in full now
Unless you were one of the lucky 700 or so to get a very early preview of DARKSIDE's Psychic in lower Manhattan a month ago, prepare yourself for your first listen of the fortcoming album from Nicolas Jaar & Dave Harrington.
And frankly, I'm a bit jealous that you're now about to experience the same exhilarating feeling we all did when we heard this album for the first time. Other People and NPR 'First Listen' have the stream. Dig in.

"Ambulancer" - A New Song From Lee Ranaldo & The Dust
Lee Ranaldo and his faithful Dust (Steve Shelley, Alan Licht, and Tim Luntzel) revealed the second song of their forthcoming LP "Last Night On Earth" today via Rolling Stone:Lee tells RS that the song originated acoustically and resembling Neil Young's "Ambulance Blues," before morphing & expanding (as most of the songs on this album do) into a beautifully turbulent, darkly melodic guitar freakout.
You can also check out another album track, "Lecce, Leaving," HERE. "Last Night On Earth" is out October 8.

Nor is there a possibility of any." Today, you can formulate your own opinion with the format of your choice ; the new album from the duo of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace is in stores (or in some instances, in your mailboxes), and Body/Head will kick off their global touring tonight at Brooklyn's Union Pool.

Savages - "I Am Here" Pitchfork live session
Today Pitchfork released a live performance session from Savages featuring the Silence Yourself jam "I Am Here". The piece was inspired by Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room":Savages on the piece:
It was very much an experiment. This process had never been tried with a song before so we had no idea what to expect. We divided the process in two days: one for recording the band, one for recording the room the next day. Gemma Thompson and Johnny Hostile (who co-produced the Savages first album) sat in the basement all afternoon while the song was being played and recorded in the room 10 times in total, witnessing the slow disintegration of the song until it became really abstract, each instruments merging into the cacophony of this new orchestral autonomous ensemble.
Director Joshua Zucker-Pluda:
There's a real emotional intensity to Savages' live presence. I was interested in the idea that the band's performance could be so powerful that it would leave a kind of psychic scar or echo within the performance space. That the sound could become interwoven into the physical structure and sort of "haunt" the building.
The process behind Lucier's "I am sitting in a room" seemed to be an appropriate way to illustrate this concept. We used the band's performance to reveal the hidden resonant frequencies of the performance space. The process itself is a direct interaction with the environment, and it felt almost like an invocation or ritual-- like we were summoning the sound from deep within the walls.
The above statements were cribbed from a Pitchfork article in which you can also check out two audio "decay" versions of the track. Very cool indeed.

DARKSIDE's debut album 'Psychic' is out 10/8 via Other People & Matador
We're very proud to announce our collaborative release of DARKSIDE's debut album 'Psychic' on October 8th via Other People and Matador Records.
DARKSIDE is comprised of electronic producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. They formed the band in 2011 after touring together for several years and experimenting with each others' sounds. Drawing on their vastly different backgrounds, each musician channels himself through the other, resulting in a progressive hybrid of electronic music and psychedelic rock with an otherworldly depth.
Listen to "Golden Arrow"
download "Golden Arrow" mp3
'Psychic' is a ritualistic song cycle, exploring rock’s cosmic outer edges through the immersive, body-moving framework of 21st-century house and techno. It follows the band’s acclaimed 2011 'DARKSIDE' EP, as well as their full-album remix of Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories'.
The band unveiled 'Psychic' on August 20th, at a last-minute event on the Lower East Side, attracting lines around the block and forcing a second listening to accommodate the crowd. A writer for Pretty Much Amazing wrote, "Feeling fully submerged in what felt like equal parts evening meditation and the best house party ever, it was hard to believe it was only an hour-long event. The first session's listeners left in peace and with gratitude for the experience and a longing for the release date. Just like that, Darkside made their stamp on this summer."
