Chances are you’re wondering the same thing I am. The project goes by Just Penelope, yet the people pictured above aren’t Penelope at all. In fact, none of them is Penelope. Does that leave you feeling misled?
That reaction isn’t necessary. Consider yourself lucky to hear more Just Penelope material today. The Bloomington-based shoegaze quartet announced their Great Lake EP with the striking “After,” and the new single “Sister” sustains the band’s signature blend of pop-tinged dreaminess and gauzy haze. This group excels at extracting drama and momentum from the familiar shoegaze playbook.
Characterizing “Sister” as a cross-section of the EP’s facets, Just Penelope describe the track as “a story of the ingenuous feeling of love and the swiftness to push things aside after being wronged.” Listen below.
Great Lake is slated for release on 9/18 via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk. Pre-order it here.
