Darkside - Psychic

Nicolas Jaar's new album, chilled stuff.

Yes, it's really good. Only listened through it once, but it sounds solid!

Yeah it's good stuff alright.

I've been really struck by how unique it sounds. It's hardly groundbreaking or amazing technically or musically but i terms of style it's really hard to pin down. It's almost like krautrock or kosmische style songs recorded with hi-fi digital equipment of say a group like Kruder & Dorfmeister. It's not quite deep house or dub techno either.

Honestly, I find this more engaging personally than Nicolas Jaar's well-received Space is Only Noise. I hope they put out more music.

This is bleeping heavily on my radar.

I heard the opening 11 minute track the otherday and was impressed.

this is lovely.

excellent album...some of the tracks have a "lynchian" vibe to them

I gotta bump this because it's a great, great listen. Very cool album and a bit different to the usual run-of-the-mill stuff.

This sounds like Sunset Rubdown to me and I love it.

thats an odd comparison. both are really cool though.

It is indeed rather great, surprised there is not more watmm love.

it is a wacky combo of styles but works like a champ.

I know I'm late to the party on this one but this album is fookin great

Listen to "Heart" on this album -- I think the whole thing shows Spencer Krug influence, but that track especially...

i guess i can kind of see that.

this album is blowing me away.

Yes, its (still) a very good album. A lot of time I am guilty of over reacting on first listens, but this still holds its own. It's got a unique vibe to it. My record collection is pretty diverse but I don't have anything that sounds quite like this. It's pretty cool imo.

They're playing here same night as Skinny Puppy. 10 yrs ago I'd be undecided but a bunch of 50 yr old goths on stage is just sad.

Bought it yesterday. Hated it on first few listens but it finallly grew on me.

New live album from theses guys. Solid.
