Darkside have announced a new album, Live at Spiral House, that will be out this Friday, June 9 via Matador. The album is described as a “loose and playful collection of jams” that were recorded at rehearsals in Los Angeles last year, with Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington joined by drummer and regular collaborator Tlacael Esparza.
“When we decided to get the band back together with Tlac, we knew we needed a space where we could explore what that meant,” says Jaar. “After a couple of months of rehearsals, we started inviting friends and family to the space and many of these recordings share the fun and cozy spirit of that time.” Harrington adds, “I probably played every Jerry Garcia riff I know in every key over the course of Spiral House. You’d be surprised how good ‘China Cat Sunflower’ sounds on ‘Narrow Road’!”
