Early life
Jaar was born in New York to Chilean parents Evelyne Meynard, a dancer, and Alfredo Jaar, an artist and architect. His mother is French, and his father has Dutch and Palestinian roots; the surname Jaar is thought to have arisen in Bethlehem. After his parents' separation, Jaar and his mother moved to Santiago at the age of three, where he lived until returning to New York at the age of nine. Jaar stayed at Lycée Français de New York.
Jaar matriculated at Brown University in 2008; he graduated from Brown in 2012 with a degree in comparative literature.
Career
In 2007, Jaar met Gadi Mizrahi and Zev Eisenberg, who ruled the legendary "Marcy" parties in Brooklyn, New York. Mizrahi suggested a 4/4 kick drum under his largely experimental compositions after hearing his early works. This was Jaar's first foray into dance music, as he did in his first appearance on Mizrahi's label Wolf + Lamb, entitled The Student.Mizrahi said of Jaar:
Jaar spent the next four years in the underground dance scene in New York, influencing house music with hits like "Love You Gotta Lose Again" and "Don't Believe the hype." "Mi Mujer" and "El Bandido," Jaar's second album containing his vocals in Spanish, were not meant to be released as jokes to make his mother laugh and dance. However, he later decided to release them in 2010 in reaction to a surge of non-Latin DJs sampling Latin American music without compensation.
Space Is Only Noise, his debut album, was released in January 2011 to critical acclaim and four stars from The Guardian. Resident Advisor, Mixmag, and Crack Mag ranked it as the year's best album of the year. Jaar toured the country with his future bandmates Dave Harrington (later of Darkside and Will Epstein), and was named the #1 Live Act on Resident Advisor for the three years he toured the country.
Jaar launched From Scratch, a live concept where he reviewed music he had bought that day. The first iteration of MOMA PS1 in Queens, New York, took place; it was a five-hour performance starring Will Epstein, videographer Ryan Staake, dancer Lizzie Feidelson, and singer Sasha Spielberg. He has appeared on From Scratch in Boulder, Colorado, and Qu'en Blanc, Quebec.
Jaar made his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix debut on May 18, 2012, which was voted by Radio 1's Most Valuable Mix Of The Year 2012, 2012.
Psychic, Jaar's debut album with longtime collaborator Dave Harrington, was released on October 4, 2013 to critical praise and a 9.0 rating on Pitchfork. The band toured the country for the entirety of 2014.
Jaar released Pomegranates, an ambient and noise record, which was described as "like broken Middle Eastern instruments half-playing a modal melody against bursts of his own." Jaar produced the soundtrack to Dheepan, a French filmmaker Jacques Audiard's film about a family of Sri Lankan refugees living in Paris's suburbs. At Cannes, it was the winner of the Palme d'Or.
Sirens, his second studio album, was released in September 2016. It was named as the year's best Electronic album. In December 2017, a deluxe version was released, with three new tracks interspersed throughout the album.
Jaar's first album under his new alias Against All Logic, released on February 17, 2018. Pitchfork gave the album, which was issued without warning and no explicit references to Jaar's name, acclaim upon its unveiling, with a score of 8.8 and "Best New Music" on it.
The majority of FKA Twigs' second studio album, Magdalene, was co-produced by Jaar, which was released in October 2019.
Jaar's three albums were released in 2020, 2017-2019 (as Against All Logic), Cenizas in March, and Telas in July.
Darkside's second studio album, Spiral, was released on July 23, 2021, Matador Records, nearly eight years after the debut of their debut album. It has generally favorable feedback.
