Which Way to Happy

A genuinely healing listen.

Brighton's Penelope Isles deliver a second LP with a strong identity – an album for fans of the LP with beautiful melody and fuzz in equal measure.

Listening to Penelope Isles’ second album Which Way to Happy, you won’t get any sense of the bumpy ride that led to its creation, because it feels like such a seamless transition from their acclaimed debut, 2019’s Until the Tide Creeps In.

Penelope Isles love a lot of different music, and they spend much of 'Which Way to Happy' approximating those influences and not quite establishing their sound.
