Poolside\u00a0returns today, August 2 with a new single \u201cFloat Away\u201d to announce the release of his upcoming studio album\u00a0Blame It All On Love\u00a0(Ninja Tune\/Counter Records). The retro-drenched lofi track finds Poolside teaming with Minnesotan alternative\/indie dream pop act Vansire.\u00a0Blame It All On Love\u00a0will be released October 20.<\/p>\n
The dreamy soundscape that is \u201cFloat Away\u201d features Vansire\u2019s Josh Augustin on vocals. Classic pop songwriting structure, hooks and grooves lend themselves to the classic \u2018daytime disco\u2019 sound Poolside is known best for.<\/p>\n
Listen to \u201cFloat Away\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Watch the \u201cFloat Away\u201d Music Video<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve spent 15 years being like, \u2018f**k your rules,\u2019 and I finally feel like I\u2019m not trying to prove anything or anyone wrong,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s just pure, unfiltered expression, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m really excited about this record.\u201d On Poolside\u2019s fourth studio album\u00a0Blame It All On Love,\u00a0Paradise leaves the shallows and enters the depths of his own creative voice. Its 11 tracks are funky, soulful, laidback and full of hooks that elevate Poolside\u2019s sound to poignant pop heights.\u00a0Rather than flex his electronic muscles, the production marks a return to his live music roots and finds ease in simple and radiant layers of sound, even as it comes face-to-face with the complex reality of one\u2019s dreams come true. It\u2019s a true product of everywhere he\u2019s been and the long and winding journey he\u2019s taken to arrive at this moment where there\u2019s nothing left to fight or prove, just perfect grooves as heard on previously released singles \u201cEach Night\u201d featuring Mazy and \u201cBack To Life\u201d with Panama.<\/p>\n \u201cFloat Away\u201d is released alongside a breezy and charming performance-based video with a darkly comedic edge directed by emerging artist Nathan Castiel<\/a>,\u00a0who did the \u201cEach Night\u201d video and whose portfolio includes work for Remi Wolf, Jackson Wang and Surf Curse.\u00a0Shot at a psychedelic house in the hills of Malibu, Paradise is joined by Vansire\u2019s Josh Augustin and Sam Winemiller, Poolside guitarist Alton Allen and artist Taylor Olin to play members of a cult led by Poolside. The narrative is loose- showing vignettes in various parts of the house that hint at the cultish undertones while still keeping the vibe quirky, fun and loose.<\/p>\n Says Jeffrey Paradise,\u00a0\u201c\u2019Float Away\u2019 is Poolside\u2019s love letter to yacht rock, a genre that was very uncool for a very long time but now seems to be rightfully getting its due.\u00a0Having always dipped my toes into the sound, I decided to fully dive in with \u2018Float Away\u2019 and embrace all the cliches of the genre. I didn\u2019t hold back and I love the end result with its incredibly slick (if I might say so myself) production, copious vocal harmonies courtesy of Vansire and sick af harmonized guitars courtesy of Steve Schiltz.\u201d\u00a0He adds,\u00a0\u201cThe song began as a more straightforward acoustic song, and then completely changed once Vansire sent me their parts. These guys are hook machines, which is exactly what you need when trying to make a maximalist yacht rock song! There was so much in the vocal part that they sent me that I had to completely rearrange the song to make room for all of their different parts.\u00a0This might be my favorite Poolside song to date.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe original demo Jeffrey sent over was called \u2018yacht luv,\u2019 so sticking with the seafaring imagery, I wrote and sang from the perspective of an imagined wealthy divorcee stranded on his boat, regretting his life choices,\u201d\u00a0shares Vansire\u2019s Josh Augustin.\u00a0\u201cI recorded the vocals in my apartment\u2019s tiny back room before I had set up a studio in New York, and for some reason I only had a borrowed guitar microphone and an XLR cord so short I had to lean really far forward to sing. Kind of hilarious to go from that setting to the lovely music video we filmed in Malibu!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0Poolside\u00a0has announced additional tour dates for New Orleans, San Antonio and Dallas building upon an already hefty tour schedule.\u00a0These bolster already announced stops with his seven-piece band in Los Angeles, Tulsa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Wilmington, NC, Charleston and Houston alongside many high-profile festival plays including Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Outside Lands, FORMAT Festival and Austin City Limits.\u00a0Joining Poolside\u2019s\u00a0Jeffrey Paradise\u2013 who can be found on guitar \/ vocals \/ synths in\u00a0the\u00a0live sets\u2013is Vito Roccoforte (The\u00a0Rapture\u00a0\/ Body Music) on drums, Brijean Murphy (Brijean \/ Toro Y Moi \/ U.S. Girls) on percussion \/ vocals, Mattie Safer (The\u00a0Rapture\u00a0\/ Lovetempo) on bass \/ vocals, Grant Zubritsky (Mitski \/ Chet Faker) on keys \/ vocals, Casey Butler (Pharaohs) on saxophone \/ lap steel \/ percussion \/ vocals and Alton San Giovanni (Alton Allen) \u2013 guitar \/ vocals.\u00a0Collectively these shows build towards Poolside\u2019s largest career tour to date.\u00a0Look for Poolside to also be joining Carly Rae Jepson for DJ sets to support her NYC shows this summer.<\/p>\n All Poolside dates are:<\/p>\n Date \u2013 City \u2013 Venue\/Event<\/p>\n SEP 22 \u2013 Bentonville, AR \u2013 FORMAT Festival *<\/p>\n SEP 23 \u2013 Bentonville, AR \u2013 FORMAT Festival<\/p>\n SEP 24 \u2013 Tulsa, OK \u2013 Cain\u2019s Ballroom<\/p>\n SEP 26 \u2013 Atlanta, GA \u2013 Variety Playhouse<\/p>\n SEP 27 \u2013 Charlotte, NC \u2013 The Underground<\/p>\n SEP 28 \u2013 Nashville, TN \u2013 Brooklyn Bowl<\/p>\n SEP 30 \u2013 Wilmington, NC \u2013 Greenfield Lake Amphitheater<\/p>\n OCT 01 \u2013 Charleston, SC \u2013 Music Farm<\/p>\n OCT 03 \u2013 New Orleans, LA \u2013 House of Blues<\/p>\n OCT 05 \u2013 San Antonio, TX \u2013 The Aztec Theatre<\/p>\n OCT 07 \u2013 Austin, TX \u2013 Austin City Limits<\/p>\n OCT 10 \u2013 Dallas, TX \u2013 The Echo<\/p>\n OCT 11 \u2013 Houston, TX \u2013 White Oak Music Hall !<\/p>\n OCT 14 \u2013 Austin, TX \u2013 Austin City Limits<\/p>\n * DJ Set<\/p>\n $ with Classix<\/p>\n # DJ set with Carly Rae Jepson<\/p>\n & with Harvey Sutherland<\/p>\n ! with NEIL FRANCES<\/p>\n About Poolside:<\/p>\n Poolside is\u00a0the\u00a0recording project of producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Paradise.
