Their set is the wide-eyed optimism of youth with a knack for great pop hooks which they smear with psych fuzz, similar to the likes of Cheatahs, or Moon King. Their tracks are like your favourite sweets with shards of broken glass embedded in them, the potential of which is just screaming out for attention.

Following on from an excellent 2016 EP, they’re a band as multi-dimensional as they are exciting.

Reverb-driven guitar pop is always in danger of meandering. When the aesthetic is half the ticket, it’s easy to forget the fare. Thankfully, Brighton’s Penelope Isles know when to strike. There’s a lift in pace and volume just when ‘Gnarbone’ needs to get going, sweet falsettoed vocals being the other big draw
