Album Review:

Darkside’s Psychic is an album that defies easy categorization, blending electronic, ambient, and rock elements into a cohesive and immersive whole. The collaboration between Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington results in a record that is both deeply experimental and surprisingly accessible. Across the album’s eight tracks, Psychic drifts through moody soundscapes, featuring hypnotic rhythms, haunting melodies, and unexpected sonic shifts.

The album opens with the sprawling 11-minute epic "Golden Arrow," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the record—slow-building, atmospheric, and drenched in mystery. As the album unfolds, tracks like "Paper Trails" introduce bluesy guitar riffs that evoke a sense of nostalgia, while still maintaining the album’s electronic core. "Heart" and "Metatron" close the album with layered production and lush textures, inviting listeners to sink deeper into the sound.

The double LP format is the ideal way to experience Psychic, as the vinyl adds warmth and depth to the album’s intricate production. Every subtle beat and guitar pluck is accentuated, creating an immersive soundscape that surrounds the listener. For fans of experimental music or anyone looking to be transported into another world, Darkside’s Psychic is a must-own album, and this double LP pressing does it full justice.

Whether you're a fan of Nicolas Jaar’s solo work or looking for a boundary-pushing electronic album, Psychic offers a rich, dynamic experience that’s perfect for deep listening sessions.
