MP3: Darkside (Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington) - A1

Nicolas Jaar just frosted his 2011 cake with the slinky Darkside EP, a collaborative effort with the guitarist Dave Harrington. It's rather a gleaming object, this EP, a multifaceted hunk of slow funk that's reminiscent of Prins Thomas and Lindstrom.

In other news, business will return to the 'heap as usual from Monday with a yearly countdown of its favourite albums of 2k11. And in the off-chance that anyone enjoyed the interlude of scribbles, they will continue every other day or so until the meme has run its course. Also, if you want to see them in a larger format just click on them.

Thanks for all the comments you left in my absence you guys. It's good to be back.
