Career.
"Origin".
Friends since middle school, Jess Gromada and Glynnis Brennan befriended Ali Ajemian once they entered high school. They all loved playing music together and started by playing acoustic cover songs in 2012 before deciding in 2016 to begin writing their own music, and chose to begin releasing under the name shallow pools in 2018. 
Shortly after deciding on the name, they met songwriter and producer Chris Curran, who helped to shape the sound and direction of the new project. In July of 2019, Haley Senft joined the band as a live bassist exclusively before becoming an official member later that year.
"Spring - EP & Singles" (2018–2020).
The band expressed their desire to "promote inclusivity" and to "create a safe space for listeners to express themselves through their music." With their message, they released their debut single as shallow pools, "It's A You Thing.", in July of 2018, followed by "Sinking" in August of that same year.
On March 8, 2019, the band's debut EP "Spring", was released. The EP was met with praise, with Alt Corner commenting on Glynnis' "emotive vocals" and the songs "deliciously melodic choruses".
The quartet went on to release four singles throughout 2020, "Haunted", "Bloom", "Afterlight" and "Turnaround".
"TBD EP" (2021-present).
The band began 2021 by signing to ESI Records, marking a new era for the band, and released a single on January 15, 2021 titled "ice water" with a music video released the same day.This release is a notable contrast from their earlier work; the band noting that the coming releases are "a departure from the music we’ve made in the past, but it’s the perfect bridge between our old and new sound."
On February 19, 2021, the second single was released, titled "glow", with another official music video.
Personal lives.
All four members are active politically and socially engaged. They are all advocates for LGBTQ equality, as well as members of the community themselves.
