Penelope Trip: Influences

Penelope Trip's affection for the power of noise defines their short career, with sweet dissonance punctuated by flares of melodic vocals. Feedback-mad The Jesus And Mary Chain energized them with pop choruses awash with guitar distortion, while a psychedelic streak draws parallels between the Gijón band and arty New Yorkers The Velvet Underground, transcendent here with “All Tomorrow's Parties”.
