Its 11 tracks are funky, soulful, laidback and full of hooks that elevate Poolside’s sound to poignant pop heights. Retro-drenched lo-fi ballad “Lonely Night” with MUNYA—co-written with Ben Browning of Cut Copy--incorporates all the sweet things that make a straight-up, easy to love song and blends it with romantic melancholy with an added softness courtesy of verses in French.   Listen to “Lonely Night” https://poolside.lnk.to/lonelyPR

"When Poolside sent me the demo for Lonely Night, I was immediately inspired by the song. I first wrote the lyrics in French and sent it to Jeff and he proposed the idea of having a version in English as well,” shares MUNYA. “I remember he was at a hair salon while I was doing my laundry at a laundromat and we were just texting back and forth and wrote the lyrics in English. I think we had everything done within a day. It was fun and easy!"   “So, Ben Browning and I wrote this love song during one of our marathon garage writing sessions. We wanted to give it a poolside, campfire beach vibe with some steel drums thrown in. We intentionally used a broken Juno 106 synth to give it a lo-fi dad vibe that's super cool but also not cool at the same time. We sent it to Munya and she was a perfect fit for the song. We used the Korg Mono/Poly for the arps during the chorus and it has a really chill campfire singing vibe. The song is about a dumb guy who can't keep a girlfriend because he won't change for anyone,” shares Jeffrey Paradise. “After writing the first verse and chorus, we realized we didn't have much to say, so we thought, ‘what if we do this as a duet? We found Munya and loved her voice, so we hit her up on Instagram and asked her to work on the song. She sent us back a version in French and we texted back and forth while I was getting a haircut and she was doing laundry for the English version. We molded it so that it could accept midi and sent our arpeggio to it, giving it a warm and lush feel.”   Look for the “Lonely Night” video to premier via YouTube tomorrow (November 15) at 6pm UTC / 6pm GMT / 10am PST / 1pm EST.     Upcoming Poolside Tour Dates:   2024 ‘Blame It All On Love Tour’ JAN 19 – Santa Barbara, CA – SoHo Music Club ^ JAN 20 – San Luis Obispo, CA – Fremont Theater ^ JAN 25 – Del Mar, CA – The Sound * JAN 26 – Los Angeles, CA – The Wiltern * JAN 27 – Oakland, CA – The Fox * JAN 28 – Sacramento, CA – Ace of Spades ^ JAN 30 – Boise, ID – Treefort Music Hall ^ FEB 01 – Portland, OR – Wonder Ballroom ^ FEB 02 – Seattle, WA – Showbox ^ FEB 03 – Vancouver, BC – Hollywood Theatre ^ FEB 06 – Denver, CO – Ogden Theatre ^ FEB 08 – Minneapolis, MN – The Fine Line ^ FEB 09 – Chicago, IL – The Vic ^ FEB 10 – Detroit, MI – The Majestic Theatre ^ FEB 13 – Toronto, ON – The Opera House ^ FEB 14 – Montreal, QC – El Studio ^ FEB 15 – Boston, MA – The Sinclair # FEB 17 – Brooklyn, NY – Brookyln Steel #!
