Song of the Day 4/18: Poole, “Superamerica”
Another forgotten power pop band from the ’90s, Poole hailed from northern Virginia, which helps explain why they shot this video in Ocean City, Md. “Superamerica” was the opening track of their first (and most critics think best) CD, the self-produced “Alaska Days.”
“Oregon” pointed toward the sound they’d explore on their later discs.
By 1999’s “Among Whom We Shine” the band has picked up more of a Bare Naked Ladies vibe, but that was Poole’s last gasp; “Fall for Anything” is a good example of the more sophisticated sound.
