Sunday Morning Live: Darkside - Paper Trails Live on KCRW




Darkside are a duo of experimental dance music producer Nicholas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. Jaar began making music back in 2008, although only recently in 2011 released his acclaimed debut album 'Space Is Only Noise'. Harrington was recruited by Jaar as a touring guitarist in support of the album, and it was also during the tour that the two musicians formed the partnership known as Darkside.

The duo released 'Psychic' in 2013, which was an interesting experimental blend of genres. The track 'Paper Trails' was one of my personal favourites, and it is the grooviest, most accessible moments on the album. 



The bassline and beat from Jaar with Harrington's bluesy guitar make a great combination, and this live performance on American radio station KCRW takes the 4:50 track, and drags it out into an epic 12 minute long version.
