MPFree: Soundpool - 'The Divides of March'
Artist: Soundpool
Song: The Divides of March
Sounds Like: Cocteau Twins, Asobi Seksu
Download here
I reviewed Soundpool's debut album, On High, back in 2006 and was left with a one-dimensional aftertaste. Two years later and they're back with Dichotomies + Dreamland, another disc full of soft, etherial dream pop. There's no hiding the fact that they're floating in the wake of fellow New Yorkers Asobi Seksu, and several other 4AD Records bands before them, but the songwriting and sampling on their new album shows a lot of promise.
