Pools

Abrasive, guitar-free post-punk built on fuzzed-out synth bass, motorik drum beats, and tense, yelping vocals. Raw, sweaty, and relentlessly rhythmic.

It is like a post-punk record but they threw away the guitars and plugged the synths into blown-out bass amps.

A tense, high-energy surge of distorted synths and motorik rhythms that feels both claustrophobic and liberating.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the title track Pools where the fuzzed-out synth bass locks into a hypnotic, driving groove.
The chaotic, yelping vocal delivery on Dandy that feels like it is about to derail the entire rhythm section.
The slow-burning, eerie synth drone that opens the final track A Sweet Song before collapsing into rhythmic noise.
