"Calling," the debut single from the group Swimming Pool, softly draws you in and shares something you didn't even know you needed to hear. Released on Fog & Co, "Calling" is a delicate and intimate piece that evokes a sense of honesty, almost like a memory floating just out of reach.
The music feels like a late-night confession, built on deep bass sounds and gentle vocals. Klyl Shifroni's bass doesn't just support the song, it creates a captivating foundation that you can almost feel. In contrast, Seraina Fässler's processed vocals bring a haunting beauty reminiscent of a mysterious atmosphere in a garage where music is created.
This is more than just a first single, it's a statement from a duo willing to explore the power of quiet moments. Swimming Pool started their journey with DJ sets, and their music embodies contrasts, merging electronic sounds with organic feelings, spoken words with unspoken emotions, and tangible sensations with fleeting ideas. "Calling" captures a moment in time, a sense that unfolds slowly, especially late at night when conversations become more heartfelt and intimate. The simplicity of the song conveys a gentle grief that evokes the rich emotions found in earlier post-rock music and innovative pop. It doesn't require a deep understanding, it simply invites you to listen and reflect.
Their EP, "Line Cuts," promises to delve even deeper into these themes. It will take listeners into a world where broken melodies and rich sound textures create an emotional landscape that is both fragile and intentional. If "Calling" is the entrance, it leads to a space filled with echoes, memories, and the feeling of rain on windows.
