RA Sessions: DARKSIDE - Paper Trails

Last week Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington released Psychic, their debut album as Darkside. "Darkside is utterly sincere," said Tony Naylor in his RA review, "and at its most fractured and psychedelic, Harrington's guitar lends a smoky, mysterious dimension to Jaar's slinky electronica." "Paper Trails" is the record's dazzling midpoint, and in the first RA Sessions film, recorded at RA's HQ, Jaar and Harrington sank a couple of whiskeys and subtly teased the track out to twice its original length.

[@ivamatanovic2913]

This song is a journey to another dimension, it slowly takes over your mind, body and soul and you just realize you have been somewhere else for 10 minutes...

[@ap0calypseple4se]

Will never EVER get tired of this song. Absolute masterpiece. And you know you're doing right when the live version is better than the album version.

[@steveroger3669]

After 10 years is your song very great

[@Aspan-bi3lp]

Pure intellectual sound-drive for very selected people. Glad, that they are many !

[@Johnymars]

"Better go and get Hidden inside Better go and get And head inside I told you I would get you At the back of the house I told you I would find A place to go Paper trails on a mountain And fruits on the table A wooden house to house to live in A baby; take care of The grass is green but the The sun is blue Better find a way To get through to you Where are you when I need you? Where did you go? How can I find you when I need you? Where should I go? Paper trail on a mountain Better find a way A big trail on mountain You'll find a way The fire outside Is burning up the place But you're inside Burning up my head Paper trails on a mountain And fruits on a table A wooden house to live in A baby; take care of"

[@abrilr.v3227]

It sounds great 👌 Reset!☺️ It's touching the inside without touching... It's a kind of dance behind the scenes and in turn, bites and teaches. Nothing left to fear!

[@amandahudson3747]

Perfect synopsis

[@frunkiss]

I feel history will look at this as a serious milestone in musical achievement for humans.

[@rebekah1216]

And suddenly my territory lonely life full of agonizing despair, sorrow and loss has been miraculously transformed into a romantically tagic saga of Epic proportion.....thanks fellas, I owe you one! Sadness never sounded so cool. Tell God I want this playing during my life review.

[@susanhenry4073]

I'm 70 years old. I found this soundtrack about 5 years ago and played it again and again, night after night, for about 2 years. I still play it often, although not quite so obsessively. I've decided that if I get COVID-19 and get super-sick, or when I'm on my death bed, period, I want my daughter to play this to me again and again. Like you said, it's life review music. Plus, for some weird reason, it makes me feel kinda peaceful.

[@davidschlenstedt289]

This version of the song is a pure masterpiece that brings me back here again and again. What a performance of those two guys. But everything Nicolas Jaar touches is pure gold, he’s such a genius. ❤

[@nicolebaumann4180]

I listen to this song every day. So so fantastic.🥰🤪🥳.... the voice, the gitare....

[@LadyPohl]

This live version is even better than studio version💖

[@etiiiiiii]

Nicolas Jaar is so talented.. I buy his music to support him

+liquidphantom - it's at LEAST as good as the album version. This one is just so...compelling. I still like the album version, though..

[@johnpalmer410]

Their live stuff is SO much better than their albums. Its more raw, passionate, messy and beautiful The albums pack 1/4 of the same power...

[@chemicalburn6749]

Love the original but my god, they nailed this live piece! What a fucking performance.

[@LittleDinkens]

Nicholas's claps and rim shots are unmatched

[@DJGlashammer]

really cool sound and they do it really great. but annoying that the claps and rims are out of rhythm and at the beginning of the FX I find too cheap and big loud reverb. The volume of instruments doesn't always match either - but it's live and therefore really great what they have put out of there. Respect 👍👍

[@fehmiozdemir1540]

What an incredible track..That was an awesome journey...Deeply grateful ❤

[@TheYanchau]

See you the 1'st of March in Zurich!
