wavepool (dream pop / shoegaze, France) share new single "Blue Moon"

Following the release of their ethereal and melancholic debut single "Tiny Cowboy", Rouen-based shoegaze and dream-pop newcomers wavepool return with a new single "Blue Moon".

"Blue Moon" is about those moments when nothing really makes sense, and that’s perfectly fine. Absurd and a little lost in an offbeat everyday life, the song invites you to let go and fully live in the moment without trying to figure everything out. It embodies the subtle art of not caring, with a touch of elegance." - wavepool

"Blue Moon" is taken from wavepool upcoming debut EP Crayola set to be released on October 24th 2025 via Howlin' Banana Records and Luik Music.

About wavepool and debut EP Crayola

Out October 24th 2025 via Howlin' Banana Records and Luik Music

Formed in 2024, Rouen-based quintet wavepool brings their slacker-rock sound like a ripple that never quite stops. With their debut EP Crayola, the band weave a laidback dream-pop and hazy shoegaze universe to sketch the outline of a world where reality blends into dreams. Echoing the spectral worlds of Duster, Homeshake and Cindy Lee, this debut EP tells the story of youth on the run, searching for meaning and ready to leave everything behind to escape the narrow walls of routine. wavepool delivers a bittersweet, honest, and urgent manifesto for those who still believe that running away can be a way to stay alive.

For listeners seeking music that comforts as much as it challenges, Crayola speaks to those who continue to dream with their eyes wide open. “Shell” is a storm contained, a heart beating too loud to stay quiet. The guitars scream what the voice holds back. Between Slowdive’s haze and Duster’s stillness, it’s not just a song to hear, it’s one to feel. Play it loud, when the world feels too quiet for what you carry inside. "In Thrall" is about the quiet heartbreak of a generation that struggles to find love. It’s about choosing to feel nothing, because feeling something hurts too much. Melancholic, noisy, and honest, a kind of romantic fatalism. My mom dreams I’ll find someone, but I haven’t. This song accepts that, capturing shoegaze textures and post-punk energy. For anyone stuck in emotional spirals, needing a bit of catharsis. “Tiny Cowboy” tackles loneliness and the search for connection, ultimately turning into a quiet celebration of self-discovery. With its melancholic yet uplifting tone, it feels like an introspective ride through a dreamlike landscape. It blends hazy textures, ethereal vocals, and bittersweet energy.

Ambient synths, soft-shoegaze guitars, waterlogged memories, and sun-faded polaroids: Crayola is the perfect soundtrack for reflective moments or late-afternoon nostalgia.
