Conflict at Serenity Pools: Ladders of Misfortune
Conflict at Serenity Pools’ already robust self-released discography has generally dipped into psychedelic indie electronic and ambient house waters, but
their newest album has the most straightforward alternative pop songs they’ve written so far. Simple, hooky indie pop with hushed vocals and some reverb effects but nothing really approaching the realm of shoegaze. “Jasmine” is a bit longer (almost 5 minutes) and has a sort of motorik rhythm, but it’s still poppy. “Saying Goodbye” is short, wistful, and folky, and a delay-heavy a cappella cover of “Nature Boy” provides the album’s most haunting moment.
