Way back in 2019, we put Penelope Isles, the Brighton-based indie rock duo of Lily and Jack Wolter, on our list of the year’s best new bands<\/a>. Penelope Isles released their sophomore album Which Way To Happy<\/a> in 2021, and then the Wolters went off and did other things. Lily spent an extended sojourn surfing in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, while Jack toured as CMAT’s guitarist. Also, both of them put out their own solo music \u2014 Lily as My Precious Bunny<\/a>, Jack as Cubzoa. But now the Wolters are back together, with a new Penelope Isles album on the way.<\/p>\n

Penelope Isles recorded their forthcoming LP 3 live as a trio, with their friend Joe Taylor on drums. The Wolters wrote all the songs on a month-long surfing trip to Lagos, Portugal, which sounds nice. Lead single “Thinking Seat” is a pretty shimmer, and it’s got a very fun video where the two siblings explain the concept of the clip and worry aloud that nobody’s going to watch the fucking thing. I watched it! You can, too! It’s below.<\/p>\n

I really like that video, but you can’t actually hear the much of the song, since so much of it is those two siblings talking. So here’s the proper studio version, along with the 3 tracklist.<\/p>\n

TRACKLIST:
01 “Another Kind Of Love”
02 “I Loved You Robert Pattinson”
03 “Bom-Bane\u2019s”
04 “Birthdays”
05 “Embo”
06 “Pretty In Pixels”
07 “Moonwalker”
08 “You This You Got A Way With Dogs”
09 “Thinking Seat”
10 “Am I Going Through This On My Own”<\/p>\n

3 is out 9\/25 on Bella Union. Pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
