Pool by Kaela

Pool is a quirky, synth-driven track that evokes a surrealist watery scene — a dive into a pool, a swim through your mind, a journey through a portal. It sets the tone for the Supraliminal album: a world that sparks curiosity and imagination, where beauty and strangeness intermingle.

To me, it’s not just any ordinary pool — it’s a special one, full of unexpected depth. The location is otherworldly but inviting. Tranquil blue waters and a beautiful landscape offer a sense of ease as you begin to activate your breath and move your muscles, your whole body preparing to go under.

The album that Pool comes from is about venturing into the mind — finding a way into your subconscious. Each song is meant to help you swim deeper. Pool sets the tone with a playful, imaginative landscape that evokes memory, reflection, and curiosity.

The harmonic structure of the song is a little unusual — with some unexpected turns that awaken the mind and open new doors. But when the harmony lands in more familiar territory, it provides the strength and grounding to step through those doors.

The sound of water is a gentle call to fully enter the soundscape. Chimes hint at the mystical nature of this journey, while the thudding kick drum propels you deeper into the supraliminal landscape — that is, deeper into your own mind.

An animated music video will accompany the song, tying together the artwork from the Supraliminal album cycle in a dreamlike arc that arrives at Pool — the entry point to the journey ahead.

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Kaela hails from Los Angeles.

A classically trained pianist and skilled synthesist, she works out of her studio, blending analog tools and modern techniques to craft her sound.
