Darkside have announced a new album, Nothing, and released its lead single, “S.N.C,” via a music video. Nothing is due out February 28 via Matador. Check out the single and album details below.

Darkside is now a trio—Nicolás Jaar, Dave Harrington, and new member Tlacael Esparza. Nothing is the band’s third album and follows 2021’s Spiral and 2013’s Psychic.

The album was recorded in the south of France, Los Angeles, and Paris and built out of improvisational jams.

A press release explains the album’s title in greater detail: “For Jaar, this concept of nothing became applicable to other aspects of life. ‘Nothing’ is the reflexive answer when asked about what’s wrong, when there’s too much to even begin to express. In this framework, ‘nothing’ means its mirror opposite. Or ‘nothing’ can be a damning illustration of the lack of change in the world. The maddening inaction on climate change, the political hypocrisy, and the recurring cycles of violence against the people of Palestine, the Sudan, and elsewhere.”

Nothing Tracklist:

1. “Slau”
2. “S.N.C”
3. “Are You Tired”
4. “Graucha Max”
5. “American References”
6. “Heavy Is Good For This”
7. “Hell Suite (Part I)”
8. “Hell Suite (Part II)”
9. “Sin El Sol No Hay Nada”
