"I don’t believe in demons but sometimes I think I should." (Apples From Your Tree) Ok, so maybe new Brooklyn residents (via Philly) Penrose is just a tad scary. And yes, they can get very loud and insane when they want to… but more often than not, they’re just as likely to bask in a snaking classical guitar every bit as eerie as any music referred to by the words ‘screaming’ or ‘core.’
Latest record ‘Circe’ goes from heavy blues (‘Every River Goes to Hell’), to piano ballads (‘The Murder of Basin Street’) and even calliope! (‘Hades’). But it’s not as heavy as it sounds.’Circe’ is a concept album full of innuendo and mystery (and quite a bit of murder), but it’s also easy to groove out to and perfect for any road trip… especially if that road trip brings you to hell. See them when they play The Marlin Room at Webster Hall on Sat, April 26th and listen below to ‘Every River Goes to Hell,’ a song reminiscent of one of the most underrated desert rock bands of the 90s, Thin White Rope. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
