🌕 : Penelope Trappes - Nite Hive

Après un premier album intitulé sobrement Penelope One, Penelope Trappes a sorti un second album, au titre aussi original que le premier : Penelope Two, cette fois-ci c’est Houndstooth qui en hérite. La pop/ambient de l’australienne se déroule sur 10 titres linéaires encrés grâce aux basses et pourtant aérien et spatial avec ses nappes et accords tenus. Les effets stéréoscopiques enveloppent littéralement le musique de Penelope Trappes, jusqu’à en devenir un instrument propre, un élément de plus dans une architecture musicale atypique et profondément poétique, Une mise à nu illustrée parfaitement par l’artwork de l’album.

The pop / ambient of the Australian takes place on 10 linear tracks with airy and space in its pads and chords. The stereoscopic effects literally envelop the music of Penelope Trappes, until becoming an own instrument, a further element in an atypical and deeply poetic musical architecture, an exposure perfectly illustrated by the artwork of the album.

Penelope Two by Penelope Trappes

Penelope Two by Penelope Trappes

Following her debut album ‘Penelope One’ for Optimo Music, antipodean vocalist, musician and soundscaper Penelope Trappes presents sophomore longplayer ‘Penelope Two’, for Houndstooth. Elements from multiple sources are subsumed by Trappes’ sonic presence; one hears Badalamenti and Julee Cruise’s work for ‘Blue Velvet’ and ‘Twin Peaks’, Slowdive’s dreampop, the scorched comedowns of early Primal Scream, Colin Newman’s dark melancholia, plus contemporaries like Tropic Of Cancer and Sky H1. These distilled, rarefied creations take echoes as their starting point, with Trappes summoning swathes of tones, textures and emotions into something ethereal but also powerful, like an evocation of spirits. It’s also deeply melodic, with her intimate, maternally-tender voice floating in the middle of each three dimensional, womb-like sonic space.
