On the heels of Poolside releasing their debut LP, Pacific
Standard Time, on their own label Day & Night Recordings, the

announcement, the duo is now streaming the A side of their limited edition,
tour-only 10" entitled "Only Everything". Previously, they
released an mp3 and video for "Slow Down" on

article and interview here. Be sure not to miss this party as it will be
heading to your town soon.
ABOUT POOLSIDE:
Poolside is Los Angeles-based duo Jeffery
Paradise and Filip Nikolic, good friends who are inspired by California,
Mezcal, dancing, good food and friends. In late 2010, on a beautiful LA day,
Jeffrey Paradise and Filip Nikolic were lounging next to their pool
house-turned-music studio drinking and making music inspired by the summer
vibes of that day. Later that night they put their first song, "Do You
Believe" on their Soundcloud, and sent the link to a few friends. Within
23 hours, they had three offers from labels wanting to release it, and
Poolside was officially born. What began as an excuse for two long distance
friends to get together and drink by their pool, has quickly become one of
the most anticipated albums of the summer.
Poolside self-describes their sound as "Daytime
Disco", slowed down dance music for swimming in a pool on a hot day.
Poolside's debut single "Do You Believe" was positively received,
with DJs including Todd Terje and Dimitri from Paris charting it, and the
press fell in love as well, 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 Neil Young's "Harvest Moon"
has become a staple of James Murphy's DJ sets, and "Take Me Home",
from Poolside's forthcoming album was the first track on Aeroplane's recent
"In Flight Entertainment" compilation. The Magician recently said
that "Poolside's Pacific Standard Time is one of the top 10 albums of
2012" and the album has been # 1 on KCRW two weeks before it was even
released. Poolside's "Slow Down" earned best new track from
Pitchfork, and they were recently featured in Pitchfork's "Rising".
The band now plays live as a four-piece, with Michael Gold, previously in the
band Dazzler, on keys and Jason Pipkin on drums / percussion. Their debut
album, Pacific Standard Time was released on their own label Day & Night
Recordings on July 9.
