Ou Est le Swimming Pool were a Camden synth-pop trio of Charles Haddon, Joe Hutchinson and Caan Capan, and they made shiny, knowing electro-pop with a grin on its face. The name, half French and half English, borrowed a line spoken by the French teacher Mrs. Crabbe, played by Pam Ferris, in the TV series Hardwicke House, which gives you a fair idea of the band's sense of humour.
The Golden Year, their album from 2010, is where "Dance the Way I Feel" lives, a strutting, glittering floor-filler with a hook that wriggles into your head and refuses to leave, alongside "Jackson's Last Stand". All told the group put out four singles, and their story ended in 2010, the same year the album came out.
