Keeping Still from Endless Evenings by Virgin Pool
Virgin Pool is the new solo moniker of Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Christine Aprile, who makes her debut with the intrepidly captivating Endless Evenings EP out April 19th, 2019. Aprile’s lifelong musical evolution as a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist has led her to a reflective and highly personal incarnation in Virgin Pool. Through the graceful arrangement of acoustic guitar, minimal electronics and layers of softly encompassing vocals, Aprile reckons with the magnificent and turbulent landscape of her own transient world. Her poetic deconstruction of desire and the Self gracefully accentuates the vulnerable tenor of Endless Evenings and cements the arrival of Virgin Pool as a profoundly gifted musician and songwriter.

Lyrics
Alone in the garden
I could swear that night and day
Were but a wave of emotion, and I was
A wolf alone
A pause in the courtyard
An open door
I let me slip away
I had left the asylum
Of a thought
And I was almost gone
But when I saw you down the walk
The garden overgrown
7 years then, to the day!
It was more than asylum that I’d sought
It was some ideal
Aware of the courtyard
As the coming dawn
Just swept it all away
For a fool with a motive, I’m told
Is a fool no more
Standing by the window looking out
On the sea
In the garden no one was around
Save for me

Transcending beyond the singer-songwriter genre into the avant garde, Virgin Pool is the solo project of Los Angeles based songwriter and producer Christine Aprile. Using an unlikely pairing of classical guitar, winsome vocals, and electronic music tropes, Aprile creates evocative soundscapes that fuse folk pop sensibilities with orchestral strangeness.
