Just Penelope Release New Single/Video, "Copenhagen" ! EP Out Friday via Angel Tapes
This Friday, Just Penelope — the Bloomington, Indiana quartet of Ella Curiel (guitar/vocals), Ethan Cantrell (percussion/synth/vocals), Theo Erz (guitar), and Drew Goforth (bass) — will release their debut EP, Great Lake, via Angel Tapes / Fire Talk. Today, they unveil its transportive final single/video, “Copenhagen.” Beginning with sparse guitar and evocative lyrics (“She has to be the one // grab a knife, grab a gun”), “Copenhagen” is an explosive track that distills Just Penelope’s knack for cathartic indie rock. Hailing from Bloomington, Indiana, Just Penelope exist in a long line of twinkling and emotional grunge. Guitars wail, drums pummel, and “I’m off to Copenhagen.”

Past the east side of Bloomington, the hum of Indiana’s largest college town dies down, tulip trees multiply, and a deaf dog perches next to Just Penelope’s drum kit. It’s here — a cabin-esque home-studio cherished for its unassumingly high-fidelity capabilities — that Just Penelope recorded their debut EP, Great Lake. Just Penelope crafts dynamic and well-studied indie rock that sets adolescent experiences against walls of sound, and Great Lake is filled with ferocious signs of life, the embers of youth that burn fast and bright for those lucky enough to bear witness. Just Penelope bridge adolescent emotions with a finely-honed palette that soars above and beyond Lake Superior.
