The untimely death of lead singer Charles Haddon at Pukkelpop, Belgium this August came less than 2 months before Camden, London's Ou Est Le Swimming Pool released their acclaimed debut album The Golden Years. The album features Haddon's crooning, whiney lyrics over a mix of uptempo and downtempo, retro electronic beats. Though with obvious influences from the past, Haddon's songs of heartbreak and rejection dance over undoubtedly modern soundscapes on The Golden Year's 11 tracks.
We've included 2 remixes of current single, The Key. The Dynamikk Remix could easily accompany any early 80s cocaine hustler speeding into a sunset in the port of Miami. He may be a gangster but he's got a heart, haha.
This Kill Ringo remix is electro-laced madness. Some futuristic astronaut partying encouraged
And lastly we have an Ou Est Le Swimming Pool dubstep remix, of Sirenna's Losers. More of an introspective, early 90s video game style than just straight up wobbling... but good nonetheless.
