In anticipation of Poolside's debut release Pacific
Standard Time on Day & Night Recordings (World) and Different
Recordings (Europe), the duo have released an mp3 andvideo for "Slow Down" on Pitchfork. It's so
good that Pitchfork named it "Best New Track" too! The video,
fittingly set in and next to a pool, straight up makes me want to leave the
office and head south to the tropics. The outstanding debut LP, recorded
entirely at their poolside studio in Los Angeles, drops July 9th - just in time
to soundtrack your own pool party.
Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise are good friends who are
inspired by California, mezcal, dancing, good food, and friends. Filip just
co-produced the new Bonde do Role album with Diplo; Jeffrey used to be in the
hardwave band the Calculators with Luke and Vito from the Rapture. Poolside's
debut single "Do You Believe?" was charted by Todd Terje, Dimitri
From Paris, and The Magician, and Dazed & Confused praised
the song for its "pop-tinged disco, brimming with optimistic vocals and
retro acid synths," while NME lauded its "supremely
casual decadence." The band's cover of "Harvest Moon" has become
a staple of James Murphy's DJ sets, and "Take Me Home," the final
song on Poolside's debut album Pacific Standard Time, was the first
track on Aeroplane's recent "In Flight Entertainment" compilation.
