Nicolas Jaar: I was a Teenage Villalobos

really fascinating to watch him work-- no headphones!

well it's all done on the laptop, so he doesn't really have to worry about mixing/beatmatching, right?

i did like how he was playing electric piano using his laptop (qwerty) keyboard near the end.

last year at mutek it was a nice double feature of him playing his own material live w/band and the next day him djing in the park in the sunshine

I know it's the middle-aged indie rocker in me speaking but i would like this guy to gather all his bits and pieces in an album. I liked 'Space...' ok but what he's released since has been something else. or basically, I need "And I say" on CD

feel like his work would best be featured as feature length doc film with extended live performance segments tbh

sorry, no more recorded performances, you just have to go dance in a sunny park

thanks Lukas!

This Boiler Room mix is so incredible...and that 32:00 - 41:00 portion is unreal.

Just out of curiosity, what has he released since "Space..." aside from the Record Store Day Grizzly Bear/Brian Eno thing?

Oh, I guess I thought there might have been more than that.

some nice bits on the RAM remix thing. The Beyond remix is cool.

New Darkside album in October. Aiming high:

The first Darkside EP just gets better and better. Awesome video for A1: http://vimeo.com/32882961

love the darkside album

Ahhhh how dare this be a thing that exists and yet not in my possession.

Ooooooh.

they must have just updated with returns it was sold out for a long time

had no idea darkside was him!! i posted them to the nu-balearic thread last week.

you have been in this thread where we've talked about them!

so i have.

really looking fwd to this. The EP was fantastic

Another track from the new album: https://soundcloud.com/daftside-2/paper-trails

i'm sure i'll get over it but guitar sounds kindof lame in a dance context... sounds like some frusciante shit or something

I was going to say Knopfler.

streaming now

This Darkside album is fucking lush.

I like it. It's weird.

i like the dubby, palm-muted guitar parts and the vibe, but ugh at some of those blues lead licks.

I can just about let the blues bits pass. Just about.

Darkside beats the hell out of Jaar's solo LP.

this is awful

i love it, i don't think it sounds that weird or removed from jaar's solo work though. his sonic palette is so wide already that the addition of a guitar doesn't feel remarkable (but still great)

Do wish people would stop talking about this as if it's a Jaar album with is mate Dave playing guitar over the top. The credits make it pretty explicit that this is a collaboration; Harrington brings a lot more to the table than just some blues licks.

i was pretty underwhelmed on first listen but i had to take a few hours of officework home the other night, so i opened a few beers and put this album on repeat and by the 3rd play i was sold.

yeah... some p shitty blues licks

this album is like stoned shirtless guy at a party with acoustic guitar playing along to minimal techno

can't blame this dave dude though, if nico asked me to bluesfart all over his album & then join him on a decked out world tour i'd say yes

at some points i could almost swear that they had turned the guitar down in the mix to a just-ever-soslightly above audible level

the guitar isnt that bad!! its not too different from like AM01 or something.

Pretty sure there are guitars on the Jaar album anyway.

and he always played with a live band (of which harrington was part) anyway

like, blending electronic stuff and ~real instruments has always been jaar's thing, the guitar is just something else naturally enfolded into what he has at his disposal

xp maybe there were, they just weren't played by anonymous jazz majors

idk i found it kind of awkwardly incorporated, like there was a forced equality of prominence b/w them rather than it just being one more element carefully folded into nico's mix... the first track is p great tho

There's one song where it sounds like "blues guitar" as far as I can tell, mostly it's pretty tasteful.
