DARKSIDE have released new track “Are You Tired? (Keep On Singing)”, the track is lifted from their forthcoming album Nothing, available February 28th via Matador Records. This March, the band, comprised of Nicolás Jaar, Dave Harrington, and new member Tlacael Esparza, will begin their first North American tour in 11 years.

Jaar and Harrington originally met at school in Providence during the early years of the last decade. While on tour in support of Jaar’s debut album, an off-day off-hand recording session in a Berlin hotel room caused their speakers to blow. The room filled with smoke and the song divined that day became their first single ‘A1’.
Shortly after shattering the 7-foot double-sided mirror that accompanied them on their 2014 tour, Darkside announced what would become a six-year hiatus. In the interim, Jaar released a string of acclaimed solo albums under his own name and his dance-oriented music. The Chilean artist left his adopted home base of New
York for a more nomadic existence overseas. He scored film soundtracks, produced for FKA Twigs, and taught sound-editing and listening workshops throughout the Middle
East, Europe, and Latin America.

Harrington pursued a similarly left-hand path. An intuitive player somewhere between John McLaughlin and Jerry Garcia, the guitarist and multi-instrumentalist moved to the West Coast and immediately became involved in the L.A underground, co-founding America’s new last great rock band, Taper’s Choice (a jam outfit formed with members of Real Estate and Vampire Weekend).

The story resumes in Los Angeles. In the fall of 2022, Darkside booked a series of shows to reintroduce themselves as a live entity for the first time in eight years.
To prep for their return, Ddarkside rented a storefront in northeast Los Angeles. Esparza joined as a full-time member, fundamentally changing the sound and spirit of
the band. Throughout the summer of ’22, the new trio built itself from scratch. At The Spiral House, they deciphered their new identity.
