I am having mixed feelings as I am writing about this band on a Throwback Thursday. I am sad because they are no longer together. After a tragic event occurred, one of the band's members decided to end his life. Yes, it saddens me to think that we will never again listen to new music by Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, but mostly I grieve over the unnecessary loss of a human life.

At the same time I am grateful for the time being during which the band was writing music, recording video clips and touring. Their album from 2010 The Golden Year is absolutely brilliant. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool have their own unique style, charged with so much energy and enthusiasm.

If this song provoked your interest, please check out some of their videos and the rest of the songs from this album. You will not be disappointed.
