In the summer of 2011, American guitarist Dave Harrington was part of Nicolás Jaar's live band that toured Europe and Australia in support of his breakthrough debut album "Space Is Only Noise. During that tour, both experimented every spare moment to create a new palette of sounds. The result? A dark and stealthy mix of electronica and psychedelic-tinged rock on a bed of Jaar's haunting vocals from which their self-titled EP sprouted in 2011. They also miraculously remixed Daft Punk's full-length album 'Random Access Memories' which was listened to millions of times: "The project transcends the standard remix record and the duo is widely praised for their ability to balance originality and playfulness" (Focus Knack).
Then in 2013 they released their debut album "Psychic," preceded by the single "Golden Arrow. The record received a 9.0 from Pitchfork and the New York Times called it "the soundtrack to a lost David Lynch sci-fi movie."
The long-awaited second album, "Spiral," followed in 2021, preceded by singles "Liberty Bell," "The Limit" and "Lawmaker. After eight years, DARKSIDE announced their return to European stages, with headlining shows in Paris, Toulouse, Manchester and London.
