Kent-based quintet Pool Club ride a wave of euphoric indie energy with their new single โChanging Tides,โ released October 10, 2025. This anthem conveys emotional displacement in summery, feel-good pop tones. Their bright, infectious sound is a combination of ELO-style sophistication, Sam Fenderโs emotional music, and Fountains of Wayneโs melodic charm. Emerging from Brightonโs rich music scene, frontmen Eliot and Kieron, joined by Seb, Will, and Jon, their music is tailor-made for open skies and sunset drives, yet grounded in real human vulnerability.
โChanging Tidesโ marks another confident step in Pool Clubโs ascent. Built around steady, thumping drums and glistening guitar lines, the track flows like the sea itโs named after, calm on the surface but turbulent underneath. The opening bars shimmer with sun-drenched translucence, while the rhythm section holds the emotional weight steady. Over this sonic canvas, the singerโs husky voice comes intimate, raw, and restless. He sings with a tender frustration, wrestling with the illusion of being โalrightโ while admitting that beneath the calm, everythingโs falling apart in the advent of a separation.
As the song swells toward its chorus, he sings that โThereโs no point changing tidesโ because heโs so habituated by their presence that now he would be lost without them. The music mirrors that conflict of the inability to let go.
With โChanging Tides,โ Pool Club comes like storytellers of the aftermath of a summer, when the laughter fades, the night settles, and the heart still searches for shore.
