Multifaceted artist, producer and DJ Pool Girl releases her shimmering new single "Crab".
Pool Girl unveils her latest single, “Crab”, the second offering from her forthcoming debut album, Melancholic Beach Town, arriving September 9. Bathed in warmth and nostalgia, the track captures the glow and sun-soaked feeling of a European summer.
Expanding on the dreamy, coastal world introduced by the album's first single, “Crab” offers another glimpse into Pool Girl's nostalgic blend of indie pop, surf-rock textures, and bittersweet storytelling.
With “Crab”, Pool Girl expands the world of her forthcoming debut album, Melancholic Beach Town, offering a more personal glimpse into the life of songwriter Allie. Inspired by her identity as a true Cancer, the song explores the tension between retreating inward and stepping into the spotlight - a push and pull that mirrors the vulnerability of making art. As part of the roll out, album release shows will be announced soon as well as support dates in the Fall/Winter.
Across Melancholic Beach Town, Pool Girl draws on the melodic craftsmanship of The Beach Boys, The Beatles and The Strokes while embracing the dreamlike atmospheres of Beach House and Suki Waterhouse. The result is a record that feels equally nostalgic and contemporary, where lush harmonies, shimmering coastal guitars and darker synth textures exist in quiet conversation. Rather than chasing escapism, the album explores uncertainty, identity and personal growth, finding beauty in life's transitional moments and learning to build stability within them.
The release follows “Call It What You Want”. the first single to arrive from Pool Girl's forthcoming debut album earlier this summer. The single was supported by Spotify, landing placements on official playlists Fresh Finds Indie and All New Indie. Together, “Call It What You Want” and “Crab” establish the emotional and sonic foundation of Melancholic Beach Town, introducing an artist with a distinct creative vision and an aesthetic that extends seamlessly across both her music and visuals.
As the release of Melancholic Beach Town draws closer, Pool Girl continues to expand her creative world beyond the music itself. Through thoughtfully crafted visuals, immersive live experiences and a growing catalogue of deeply personal songs, she is laying the foundations for a debut era with a clear and cohesive artistic vision.
