Time for some more shoegaze. So let's pick on Soundpool, one of the best in the genre.
The explosive third album sees this NY-based 5-piece stepping out onto the dancefloor, without leaving their guitars and dreamy effects behind!

“Soundpool’s heavily layered, dreamy tunes conjure up images of a queen soaring on a throne made of clouds, singing while her smiling band mates float beside her. Vocalist Kim Field’s pure, angelic voice ranges from sexy, deeper notes to high-pitched melodies that mirror her keyboard playing. Active yet appropriately subtle, drummer James Renard works with the bassist to form a tight rhythm section, creating an urgent, driving groove. The nonstop, ethereal synths compliment the angular, sometimes haunting guitar, which recalls the sounds of 70s psychedelia, 80s pop and 90s shoegaze. Soundpool’s supremely pleasing music leaves listeners with a euphoric high that.s only heightened in their dynamic live performances." – Becky Firesheets, The Deli
