Dreamy, Honest, Loud – Meet Moonpools

Moonpools, the dream-pop outfit hailing from Basel, have been steadily carving out a place of their own with their ethereal yet dynamic sound. Drawing inspiration from shoegaze, indie rock, and nostalgic pop elements. They craft songs that shimmer like distant memories—soft around the edges, yet emotionally striking. Their latest track, Say Anything, is a perfect reflection of their unique ability to blend warmth, atmosphere, and pure sonic bliss.

Hearing that they signed up for the Mosferatwo giveaway made my heart jump in two ways. First, as a Bebbi by choice, it’s incredible to see a Basel-based band bringing their talent to the forefront. Second, as a millennial who grew up in the ‘90s and early 2000s, this song immediately transported me back to that era. A time of discovery, of possibility, of stepping into something new.

Say Anything carries the same golden glow as the soundtracks of a thousand coming-of-age stories. The kind of song that makes the world feel wide open. The kind of song you play with the windows down, a city skyline stretching out before you, with nothing but the thrill of what’s ahead. It’s not just a track; it’s a feeling—one of freedom, nostalgia, and excitement all wrapped into one.

Say Anything – A Nostalgic Rush

For this Rising Tones Sessions Moonpools, we picked Say Anything, a song that perfectly captures Moonpools’ signature sound—nostalgic, shimmering, and effortlessly cool.

What Makes It Special?

• Instantly Timeless – Say Anything feels like a song you’ve known forever, yet it remains fresh, modern, and completely at home in today’s world.
• Dreamlike Vocals – The vocals float effortlessly, balancing melancholy and quiet confidence, pulling the listener into its hypnotic atmosphere.
• The Perfect Contrast – Much like the best dream-pop anthems, the song balances softness with strength, its delicate verses giving way to moments of quiet power.
• Shimmering Guitars – The guitars glow and swirl, wrapping around the song like waves of light, giving it a sense of movement and weightlessness.
• A Steady, Pulsing Rhythm – The rhythm section keeps everything fluid and driving, subtly shifting dynamics to maintain the song’s effortless flow.
• A Soundtrack to Your Memories – Some songs stay with you long after they end—this is one of them. It’s the perfect companion to late-night drives, quiet reflections, and the thrill of new experiences.

Some songs demand to be played loud, others creep under your skin quietly. Say Anything does both—it doesn’t just accompany a moment, it creates one, shaping itself around your emotions. That’s exactly why Moonpools made the shortlist for the March 2025 Monthly Pedal Giveaway. We’re excited to see how the Mosferatwo can enhance their already stunning sound. Just like Say Anything, Mosferatwo doesn’t overpower—it adapts, amplifies, and makes a great moment even greater.
