I was recently in SoCal for a few days, and my friends played me a cover of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" by a L.A.-based band called Poolside. Heading up to Lake Arrowhead, the City of Angels gave away to mountainous beauty while Poolside's downtempo indie synths melted away any residual metropolis-based stress we carried.
The band describes their genre as "daytime disco," which couldn't be a more apt way to depict their amazingly groovy slow jams. With ties in both San Francisco and L.A., there is something very quintessentially Californian about the duo's sound: chilled out, confident, with a dashing, sunny disposition. Their interpretation of Neil Young's classic track is a very smart rendition. Straying far from the country roots of the original, the duo created a different, yet lovely production for any day of the week.
Since this track is from August of last year, I was actually surprised Indie Shuffle hadn't covered it until today, but happy to be able to bring such an awesome song to the table.
