Singer-songwriter Eva Penney soothes us into the week with the release of her captivating new single “you sound like the dolphins!,” out now.
Born from a demo made in a single afternoon, this song is a true capsule of time, made even more final in the production process by being recorded onto reel-to-reel cassette tape. This track is one of Penney’s more understated projects, however it feels no less anthemic as Eva’s rich, warm vocal soars effortlessly over the beautifully delicate musicality. It features mechanical clicks and sweeps of the analogue cassette recorder and gentle synth hums and squeaks, often mistaken by listeners for dolphin sounds.
Eva Penney has always been honest in her music, constantly treading an uneasy line between metaphor and truth. With a sound inspired by alternative and acoustic folk, the electronic and DIY elements weaved into her recordings and performances create a unique and warming listening experience.
“you sound like the dolphins!” is in stores now.
