There’s a brand new name drifting out of Rouen that should be on your radar—wavepool. This freshly-formed shoegaze/dreampop outfit have dropped their debut single Tiny Cowboy, and it’s one of those rare first impressions that stops you in your tracks and leaves you floating.
Formed in 2024, wavepool pulls from the hazy fringes of sound, echoing the spectral worlds of Cindy Lee, the lo-fi weight of Duster, and the woozy warmth of Homeshake. It’s music for slow days and private reveries—something to sink into.
The video for Tiny Cowboy is a perfect match for the track’s dreamy pull. Constructed from anonymous vacation footage shot in the Maldives—found on a flea market cassette camera, no less—it plays like a dream that doesn’t belong to you but feels strangely familiar. Think stolen memories, sunshine ghosts, and the gentle hum of nostalgia on loop.
This is shoegaze at its most intimate and cinematic—a soundtrack for your inner drift.
