Never Mind Oh Darlin™ (vinyl exclusive) The two-piece outfit POOLS is the collective vision of multi-instrumentalist Fredrik Forell and lead vocalist Arvid Hällagård (from major stoner rock outfit Greenleaf). Reminiscent of acts such as Daniel Norgren and The Tallest Man On Earth, POOLS combine americana, folk and gospel to create something quite remarkable evidenced in the profound might of their debut album. The debut album ˜You & Us™ sees POOLS baring all in a strikingly raw and unadulterated rumination of loss and sorrow. Going through a divorce as the album was taking shape, Arvid™s heartache beautifully translates into something we can all witness and understand. From start to finish, the record follows the painful journey of putting a relationship to rest, recognizing its shortcomings and beginning to move on. POOLS received major critical acclaim for their debut album, including Wonderland Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, Folk Radio, VISIONS Mag and many more. Received radioplay all over Europe and national radio play on Swedish SR P4. The group are working on their follow up EP released in the summer 2022, and their sophomore album, scheduled to be released early 2023. šHaunting Americana› - The Line of Best Fit ›Our favourite Swedish newcomers.› - Wonderland Magazine ›Encapsulates the very essence of creativity and I find it genuinely exciting.› - Folk Radio UK ›Great songs for playing pool› - Viagra Boys
