History

Formation & Early Years (2004-2011)

In 2004, San Francisco DJ Jeffrey Paradise met Filip Nikolic (at the time bassist for Junior Senior) at Frisco Disco, one of Paradise's parties in San Francisco[4]. A year later Nikolic came out to Los Angeles for a few months and the two gathered together in the studio to have fun and make a few songs.[5] In 2006, the duo decided to make a disco influenced project; however, both were busy with other projects and their work “never got too serious.”[5]

Poolside's debut single "Do You Believe" was released in 2011[6] and positively received by peers Todd Terje, Dimitri From Paris, and The Magician,[7] and Dazed & Confused praised the song for its "pop-tinged disco, brimming with optimistic vocals and retro acid synths,"[8] while NME lauded its "supremely casual decadence."[9] Later in 2011 LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy put Poolside into greater public notoriety by frequently incorporating their cover of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" into his dj sets.[10] [11]

The duo released their second single “Take Me Home” in October 2011 followed by a video released on Scion Audio Visual on November 2011.[12] The song was used as the first song on Aeroplane's In Flight Entertainment compilation.[13]

Pacific Standard Time (2012)

On July 9, 2012, Poolside released their debut album Pacific Standard Time.[14] The album was put together with no serious goal in mind, only to make groovy, daytime disco. Album track "Slow Down" was named "Best New Track" by Pitchfork[15], and Pitchfork called the album "a disco album that slinks along with the urgency of a teenager on the first day of summer vacation."[16]

Heat (2017)

On June 20, 2017, Poolside released their second album Heat.[17] On Heat, the band "kept the same core ideas and expanded the pallet [they] worked with – the instruments, percussions, tempos, sounds, etc – but [they] definitely turned up the heat a bit more on some songs with more upbeat tempos, spread out into some more lush electronic vibes, and [they] didn’t shy away from our more guitar based influences that were mostly hiding on the first album."[18] The band performed album track "Everything Goes" for the first time at Outside Lands in San Francisco on August 11, 2018. [19]
