Dive into the lead single, Pool Party’ from Alex Cherney’s LP of the same name. This track captures the carefree spirit of summer whilst showcasing Chereny’s knack for combining the old with the new. 

Alex Cherney is known for fusing new-school songwriting with vintage production techniques, effortlessly blending indie, disco, soul and folk into vibrant, genre-bending sounds. His ongoing partnership with The Brothers Nylon, a pair of twin brothers known for their bold and creative instrumentals, brings unmistakable character.

Cherney experiments with sonic textures throughout ‘Pool Party’ by blending elements of Lo-fi and Nu-disco into an irresistible soundscape. The shimmering synths craft a hypnotic pulse, while soulful, processed high-pitched vocals lend the track a distinctly ‘70s disco edge. 

The laid-back, lo-fi production cleverly balances this upbeat and nostalgic style. The slowed tempo softens the groove, creating a chilled, mellow atmosphere with hazy aesthetics that evoke imagery of sun-drenched afternoons by the pool.

The introduction of Lenny McFly's rap vocals ultimately injects an infectious momentum and modern edge that elevates the track to a striking new level.

‘Pool Party’ is timeless and refreshingly modern. The blending of retro influences with contemporary elements shows Alex Cherney's ability to create both a danceable and laid-back track. With The Brothers Nylon’s inventive instrumentation and Lenny McFly’s lively contributions, ‘Pool Party’ is more than just a nod to the past; it’s an invitation to celebrate the present.
