The Lovepools

About me:

The Lovepools are a Los Angeles indie rock band first formed in 2017. After releasing two EP's, they released their first single, "See You In The Funny Papers" which appeared on Showtime’s “Shameless” Season 9 Premiere.

Backed by their label Sword Music under exclusive license to Sony Music Italy. "White Lies & Palm Trees" has gained over 65,000 Spotify Streams and 58,000 YouTube views as well as appearing on MTV Italy and Italian radio since its May 22nd, 2020 release date. The following month, The Lovepools released their follow-up single "Cut Me Slack!" on June 23rd.

The Lovepools followed up their recent release “White Lies & Palm Trees” with their own home-made “Pool House Remix” of the previous single as well as a "vaporwave" styled music video.

“White Lies & Palm Trees (Pool House Remix) was released on October 2nd on all major music services. As the song and video groove together, the journey of viewing one clip to the next is like flipping through a rolodex of 1980’s commercial imagery and undiscovered home footage. Edited by singer Anthony Shea, the music video reminds us there was once a time when car doors opened vertically, mullets were considered sexy and VHS was sold to consumers proudly labeled as “high definition”. The forgotten video footage lives to tells its story in a vaporwave aesthetic while the song seems to pull more from the “French House” genre than anywhere else.

The "time-capsule” effect of viewing the music video show us how much the world has rapidly changed, especially its technology. One thing though that hasn’t really changed is society’s undying obsession with the 1980's decade.
