The Penelopes
Making their words my own: “Regardless of how you take it, The Penelopes will brighten up your day.”
“Influenced by everyone from Prefab Sprout to Felix Da Housecat to Devo, The Penelopes make sparkly electropop, with elastic bass lines, lush keyboard sequences and funky guitars.” Umstrum
“French indie-electro at its best; charming keyboard bleeps, guttural Gallic murmurings and a fuzzy synth array make for delightful listening.” Owl By Night
Hailing from Paris, The Penelopes are dynamic duo Axel Basquiat and Vincent T. Now living in London’s trendy east, the pair are in the city that live and breathes ‘Gloomy Indie’, a genre the pair fell in love with when living in the industrial suburbs of north Paris. Influenced by British bands such as The Cocteau Twins and New Order you would expect their own music to follow in the same footsteps, but happily, the band contradict their influences by creating this multi-layered, sparkly indie-pop.”
