Penelope Trappes: Momentum
Penelope Trappes – Penelope Three UK Tour
With the PRS Momentum Fund, Penelope Trappes will be touring all over the UK with an intimate and immersive show, in support of her third album, Penelope Three releasing on Houndstooth in October 2020.
Penelope Trappes will be accompanied on stage by 2 female identifying multi-instrumentalist musicians along with live visuals. The show will aim to inspire healing by helping the audience to reflect upon their own complexities in relation to their feminine awareness, their emotional and mental health at all stages of life.
Penelope Trappes is a London based Australian born vocalist, musician and etherial soundscaper. She spent 2016 writing and recording what would become her first solo album, ‘Penelope One’ in a piano studio in East London. Composed of mostly percussion-less, reverb-heavy haunting atmospherics with dystopian themes, the LP was released via Optimo Music in 2017 on vinyl and as a photo book. The first single ‘Puppets’ premiered by opening the Fendi SS17 runway show.
Penelope signed to Houndstooth in 2018 and released her sophomore LP ‘Penelope Two’ to critical acclaim. The minimalist, ethereal album was built around field recordings, meditations, guitars, synth drones, piano and reverb, and deals with mortality, predestination and empathy. 2019 saw the release of ‘Penelope Redeux’ consisting of reworks of songs from ‘Penelope Two’ by Cosey Fanni Tutti, Mogwai, Félicia Atkinson, Nik Colk Void and more. ‘Penelope Three’ will be out in the second half of 2020 on Houndstooth.
