Penny Ikinger - Fragile

Aussie noise darling Penny Ikinger is out with a 3 track EP teaser for her next album “Penelope”. Last time around Simon here at LowCut almost wet his pants – and yes, she is a darling. First track “Fragile” starts out like a sweet pop song and then it’s topped by a beautiful dirty guitar solo, damn well done. Next track “Memories Remain” is a slow noise drenched duet with cool slide and vocal duties is shared with Ron Peno. Last track of this EP is a daring one! Although she’s been compared with Nico it takes some big balls to actually cover “All Tomorrows Parties”. But she do well, actually after four spins of this track I’ll say that she do what almost no other woman may be capable of! I also like the cool effect of adding sitar to the laid back and controlled noise inferno. What a tease … Penny Ikinger Web LowCut
