We know Darkside like to take their time with things. The duo of electronic producer Nicolás Jaar and jazz guitarist Dave Harrington shared their sophomore album Spiral in 2021, eight years after their cult favorite debut Psychic. Today, Darkside are back: They’re now a trio with drummer Tlacael Esparza, they have a new single out cleverly titled “Groucha Max,” and they’re going on their first US tour in 11 years.
“Groucha Max,” Darkside’s first song as a trio, sounds like if you put a good blues rock jam in a blender. It’s both melodic and unsettling, and puts Esparza’s drumming under the spotlight. The US leg of Darkside’s tour will commence in Chicago in March 2025, and you can find tickets here. See full dates and listen to “Groucha Max” below.
