According to Consequence, Dave Harrington announces a new solo album The Pictures that will be released on October 20 via Minaret Records. He also shares a single “I’m Not A Dream.”
This album features 27 songs that are described as “a love letter to the cinema”, “eclectic taste”, and a “quiet nod”. He mostly played every instrument on this album from guitar, percussion, drums, upright bass, keyboards, and banjo.
The opening track of this album “I’m Not A Dream” features a rich instrumental with sounds from a xylophone. The new single has a multi instrumentalist sound with touches of electronic, experimental, and downtempo genre. In the realm of improvisational and electronic music, David Harrington has established himself at the crossroads of two distinct genres. He has created a unique space in which spontaneous and psychedelic music can thrive in both techno and free jazz. This free-spirited approach is evident in his DJ sets, which predominantly feature his own remixes and edits.
Additionally, he incorporates live programming and analog electronics, improvising on the spot to create sets that blur the lines between a traditional DJ set and a live performance. Although Darkside’s most recent release, Spiral came out in 2021, Harrington has not slowed down since then. In the previous year, he released four Choice Tapes as a part of Taper’s Choice while also contributing to Alan’s Morissette’s latest album, The Storm Before The Calm. Furthermore, earlier this year, Harrington collaborated with Spencer Zahn and Jeremy Gustin to produce a complete cover of Harry Styles’ Harry’s House. Dave Harrington also had a previous collaboration with Nicolas Saar for the album Darkside.
