“This ain’t no pool, but Guwop in a lagoon,” Gucci Mane famously exulted from his Iceland resort. Well in the video for their new track “Pool”, Finnish “flower garage” rascals Have You Ever Seen The Jane Fonda Aerobic VHS? are living their own suburbanite fantasy of luxurious poolside escapism. It may be budget quality, but no less fun and chaotic.
As the band drolly comment themselves: “If John Waters would have shot Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun in the Finnish town of Koria, the outcome could have been something like this.” “Pool” comes with the announcement of new album Maine Coon, which will blast into existence on June 3rd via VILD Records. The song is a worthy sequel to illuminati hotties’ “Pool Hopping” as this year’s crackling summer anthem for perpetually-bored mischief makers living around the fringes.
“Our producer Lauri Eloranta suggested that I should step out from my comfort zone. By this he meant composing a song based on a drum machine beat. That original Eko Pony beat is pulsing on the final recorded version of the song. For reasons unknown to me, I was also tasked with singing the first verse of the song. Lyrics in minor, song in major. Except for the chorus…”, band member Ekku Lintunen comments.
