A seductive swing plus all the sweet things that make a straight-up, easy-to-love song sums up the vibe of Poolside’s newest single “Ride With You,” out today, August 29 (Ninja Tune/Counter Records). Here Poolside, which is the recording project of producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Paradise teams with Cut Copy bassist Ben Browning and turns “Ride With You” into a co-write of new and nostalgia as island rhythms and steel drums ripple beneath Browning’s echoing vocals. Look for the song to appear on Poolside’s upcoming studio album Blame It All On Love.

Perfectly translating the song into visuals, the accompanying music video to “Ride With You” features Paradise, Browning and members of the Poolside live band. Colorful retro scenes of couples riding motorcycles through town match the synesthesia of the song itself. Full of vibrant colors, trippy transitions and romantic imagery, the “Ride With You” music video transports viewers to sensory oasis.

“’Ride With You’ started with a hypnotic two-chord progression that allowed space for big group vocals and lots of cool little melodic synth lines and guitar bits,” says Ben Browning. “It was one of those songs that came really quickly and easily, which inspired the lyric ‘love is an easy road.’ When Jeff and the Poolside band worked on the song it seriously came to life.”

“‘Ride With You’ has everything you’re looking for in a quintessential late summer nostalgia jam,” adds Poolside.

Meanwhile, Poolside–hot off major festival plays at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands, and DJ sets supporting Carly Rae Jepsen in NYC–has announced additional tour dates for New Orleans, San Antonio and Dallas building upon an already hefty tour schedule. These bolster stops Tulsa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Wilmington, NC, Charleston and Houston alongside more festival appearances at FORMAT Festival and Austin City Limits.

Poolside’s cover of Neil Young’s classic “Harvest Moon” – which they made a one-of-a-kind 12-inch just for James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) and halted the pressing of the album to include in on their debut album Pacific Standard Time – has been streamed over 100M times.
