Black Pool is the first single from Layperson’s new album, Massive Leaning available NOV 10 on Lung Records.
“Black Pool serves as an alluring glimpse of what to expect from the forthcoming album. It is a single that irresistibly invites listeners to sing along, and it’s effortlessly captivating, making one wish the song would play on endlessly” – c-heads
“Julian’s vocal push and overall sound eschews current indie tropes but instead seems to pull those seeds from before, like the amalgamic DNA of artists like Buffalo Springfield, Traffic, Bread, Fleetwood Mac.” – American Pancake
“Hitting out of the gate with the kind of airy Americana-meets-indie-rock that brings to mind artists like Tom Petty, Lord Huron, and The Shins, this tune is insanely infectious as it finds its songwriter taking a dive into oblivion while he explores his layers of heartbreak with carefully delivered truths. Craft pop hooks dance around twangy pedal steel and rich harmonies to make for a song that lingers long after listening and always makes for a proper head-bobber.” – Glide Magazine
“Full of energy and urgency, the rock-americana tinged Black Pool propels us forward with catchy pedal steel riffs and deftly crafted pop hooks that meld together to form what somehow feels like a melancholic banger.” – Tiniest
