Anthony Childs Spacious without being bare. Inviting and comfortable though not always warm. Confident not dogmatic. Vulnerable not fragile. Beautiful though not necessarily pretty. It is glorious to walk with bare feet but there may be stones, splinters, glass. You will be hurt at some point, trust yourself to grow beyond that event and, furthermore, look forward to it. Favorite track: Heartbreak.

about

The debut solo album from Penelope Trappes - “Penelope One”

“In 2016. I rented out a small piano studio in East London for nearly a year and set out to write an introspective, trendless, and mostly beatless album. Inspired by albums from This Mortal Coil and Scott Walker, who also sought freedom to work outside of the expectations of their previous work, I limited the instrumentation to mostly an acoustic piano and effects, which left space to expose a lot of emotional vulnerabilities about myself and people close to me. Writing lullabies about being a mother in a dystopian world, with pensive words about swimming against the current as a female artist, I felt free enough to tell untold truths that I’ve never felt comfortable talking about within music. Free, liberated, empowered... naked.”
