Poolside's acclaimed debut album Pacific Standard Time–released (10) years ago this July and finally back in print for the first time in (5) years–is an essential record of the 2010s. One of the first albums to bridge the gap between indie and electronic music, PST is the progenitor of "nu-disco", and more specifically the first document of Poolside's "daytime disco" sound. PST includes Poolside's signature tracks "Harvest Moon" and "Do You Believe?", and since its release the record has amassed upwards of 250 million streams across all platforms. In 2012 Pitchfork called PST "dance music for the chillout tent," perfectly predicting the trends that would follow in PST's wake as dance music became more accessible in the streaming era. Its Hockney-esq cover art and 70+min runtime make for a transportive listen, placing the listener poolside and worry free.
