Description
2022 reissue, 2×12″LP, Pacific Standard Records.
California-based Balearic disco duo Poolside first made a splash in 2010 with thrilling debut single ‘Do You Believe?’. Two years later and they came on just as strong with their debut album – a typically West Coast-influenced fusion of lazy guitars, baggy grooves, subtle disco influences and shimmering dream pop compositions. Now marking its 10th anniversary it gets a special reissue. At times, they sound like Holy Ghost after a sack full of potent marijuana, at others like Windsurf or Hatchback making shuffling E-pop. It’s an attractive sound, all told, touching on smacked-out slow jams, lazy disco and MDMA-laden indie-pop. – Juno
