Forming in 2005 Soundpool is a NYC-based 5 piece shoegaze, space rock, audio/visual act with sweet girlie vocals, saturated guitar sounds, lush synth arrangements and a danceable driving rhythm section. Soundpool's first album, On High, reached the top spot on the Tonevendor charts for well over a month in late 2006 – Soundpool has since quietly placed themselves in the center of the new shoegaze/dream pop movement of music, sharing the stage with great acts: Robin Guthrie, Ulrich Schnauss, A Place To Bury Strangers, Mahogany, Asobi Seksu, Spectrum, Star, Kyte, Auburn Lull and Butterfly Explosion to name a few. Soundpool's second full length album Dichotomies & Dreamland is in many ways the classic psychedelic album in a post electronica age. Conceptually, the album can be broken into two parts... the conscious and the subconscious. Stylistically, the album follows a thread that perhaps starts in the mid-sixties when pop artists of the day started taking hallucinogens and making records that were a bit more eclectic, cerebral and daring... pushing the boundaries of what a rock & roll record could be. Dichotomies & Dreamland was made in the spirit of that sort of artistic attitude but it's not deliberately of even necessarily retro per se... in fact it is quite modern in an indie sort of way. Elements of Shoegaze, Dreampop, Space Rock, Psychedelic and Electronic are all present. Over a year and a half in the making... we hope you enjoy our latest body work!
