Swimming Pool dive deeper with “Sunday,” a haunting ode to everyday rituals

“Sunday” is taken from Swimming Pool's debut EP, Line Cuts, out on August 15 via Fog & Co.

Having caught our attention with their haunting debut single “Calling,” Swimming Pool return with another delicate yet disarming track. The duo, made up of Klyl Shifroni and Seraina Fässler, straddles the creative spaces between The Hague and Zürich. Their sonic world is shaped by experimental electronics, bowed bass textures, and emotionally raw songwriting. With their debut EP Line Cuts arriving on August 15 via Fog & Co., “Sunday” sets the tone for what promises to be a strikingly intimate and fractured body of work.

In “Sunday,” Swimming Pool unravel the quiet absurdity behind the little rituals we cling to: the tossed coins, the wishful clovers, the whispered hopes on a rainy afternoon. “Sunday / I’ll be waiting in the rain / Sunday / Look for clovers in the rain / Drop my penny in the drain…” The track’s sparse layers and poetic repetition expose the fragile comforts behind these habits, offering both beauty and emptiness in the same breath. Klyl Shifroni’s bowed bass work, processed through pedals and subtle effects, doesn’t just accompany the vocals, it murmurs beneath them, like distant memories or static from another life. Produced by the duo, the song is a soundscape that feels as raw as it is spectral.
