Pool Kids have arrived, courtesy of our favorite Midwest indie rock label Skeletal Lightning! Their new self-titled album ‘Pool Kids’ is a powerful yet accessible fusion of emotional, technically-elevated math rock. The record spans from high energy and emotionally charged songs to softer mid-tempo moments. Blending layered synths and guitar riffs, producer Mike Vernon Davis brings out unique indie-pop textures that are a new frontier for the band.

With the addition of two new writing members and everyone being spread out throughout the country, it grew increasingly difficult to complete this album. Aside from the distance the group experienced the ultimate nightmare when their studio flooded; ruining equipment, original music and most importantly their momentum. Despite the challenges they persevered, delivering nothing short of magic. Check out the video for their latest single off the album, “Arm’s Length”:

Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and producer Lera Lynn pays tribute to her journey behind motherhood in her latest single, “I’m Your Kamikaze”. Welcoming her first son during the early months of the pandemic, this song marked a new era of shifting priorities, strange endings, and new beginnings. Inside Lera was battling postpartum depression. Outside, a bigger picture began taking shape: a feeling of interconnectedness, of cyclic renewal, of the knowledge that every beginning is an end and every end is a beginning. I got my musical start in the indie rock scene of Athens Ga. “Kamikaze” pays sonic homage to that beginning while illustrating the whiplash effect of early parenthood. It’s a continuation of the theme from “Something More Than Love;” that you are no longer your own; that you will now bow to the forces of nature and run yourself into the ground so that your child might thrive. – Lera Lynn Co-produced […]
