Convict Pool

A cinematic EP of reimagined covers and originals. Mariachi brass meets indie rock in a dusty, reverb-soaked tribute to the American Southwest.

It's like a dusty road trip through the Southwest where every radio station plays mariachi versions of your favorite indie songs.

A sun-drenched, cinematic blend of nostalgia and wandering spirit.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The triumphant explosion of mariachi horns that transforms the psych-pop of Alone Again Or into a desert anthem.

The way the accordion breathes through the French lyrics of Si tu disais, bridging European folk with Arizona dust.

The frantic, galloping percussion on Corona that reimagines a punk classic as a high-stakes border chase.
