About this product
Mermaid Chunky. It's all in a name, sometimes. The danceable,costumed, curiosity rich duo of artists Freya Tate and Moina Moinare as imaginative as they profess. Or, to get more to the point,as we all need them to be.Freya and Moina are two visual artists and musicians fromStroud and South London, places where they importantly foundcommunities (Stroud's SVA and the capital's Total RefreshmentCentre) of like minded people just as willing to chase down anidea to it's possibly illogical conclusion. And it is in the collectiveand the idea of participation that Mermaid Chunky really clicks.This is a party, a collective dance, made all the better with more people, ideas, layers, kick drums, recorders, saxophones, frogs.To wit, the album's first track and first single, InchCéilí,Inch named aftera traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering and dance, whichbuilds from a simple recorder line into a swelling, warm burst ofmajor chord dance music. Goosebumps or check your pulse.Further down the rabbit hole, InchChaperoneInch is almost Boardwalkelectro, like Fischerspooner on a ferris wheel; InchFrogspornInch andInchNature GirlInch are mucky, trippy dirges filled with stalactites ofsynth and squelch; InchTiny GymnastInch is a kaleidoscopic waltz intothe night. Hold onto your seats, ladies and gentlemen.You might be wondering how we, DFA Records, all the way overin cynical Brooklyn, entered the picture. There was a day a fewyears ago, sun shining in full Springtime splendor, when Jamesheard something while waiting for a coffee down the streetfrom the office.

Poolside began as a recording project in a converted Los Angeles backyard pool house in early 2011, producing sunny tracks of subaquatic indie dance music in this makeshift recording studio. Surfacing first in the form of a YouTube video for the catchy track InchDo You Believe?Inch Poolside were soon gaining local and national attention, with DJs like by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, techno legend Derrick May, and disco don Todd Terje spinning these tracks at events and a growing online following. Throughout 2011 Poolside continued making waves with a sound called Inchdaytime discoInch through tracks like a cover of Neil Young's InchHarvest MoonInch as well as original tunes. In 2012 Poolside worked on a remix for longtime disco punks The Rapture and held fans over with a new single and video for a song called InchSlow DownInch as they prepared to their debut album. That album, Pacific Standard Time, was released in July of 2012 on their own Day & Night tag. After the album's , remixes for artists like Matthew Dear, Little Dragon and Fool's Gold soon followed, rehearsing and touring with a live band, and doing DJ sets around the world. Eventually, as thoughts turned to a second album, Poolside went on ice for a year; to regroup. Beginning to work in earnest on another album Fall of 2016. While still revolving around the sunny, laid-back disco sound of PST, additions of uptempo dance songs and more guitars, and generally fleshed out the arrangements with more instruments and sounds.
