What Others Have Said
[About Do You Believe] "Los Angeles based duo Poolside keep it simple, marrying acid house rhythm to gently oscillating piano fills. It plays a bit like Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” as conceived by ‘Screamadelica-era Primal Scream, strange and improbable as that may sound." - NME
