Penelope Trappes Remixed by Julia Holter

Last year, dark experimental electronic artist Penelope Trappes released the excellent "A Requiem" LP.  This year, that some album gets the remix treatment from a slew of fantastic artists like Midwife and Saint Etienne.  Check out the eerie and dreamy rework of "Thou Art Mortal" by Julia Holter below and pre-order the upcoming "OPVS NOVUM: A Requiem Reworked" here from One Little Independent Records.

First tastes of next year's grand opuses have been trickling out for all to hear over the last month or so, and one of the latest is "Sleep," a track from UK experimental artist Penelope Trappes's upcoming new album "A Requiem."  "Sleep" is a strange track, as one should come to expect from the artist, a slowly creeping and oozing blend of noise, electronics, and horror drone.  Check it out below and pre-order the LP here from One Little Independent Records.

Abul Mogard reworks Penelope Trappes

Working with Brian Eno and others, Serbian experimental artist Abul Mogard just released a new album, "And We Are Passing Through Silently," in which he transforms and mixes the work of a handful of other artists into something completely different.  A highlight for me is the stretched and sprawling mix of Penelope Trappes' "Carry Me."  In Mogard's hands, the song becomes a slow crawling piece of droning ambience that stretches to the ends of the cosmos and back again.  Listen below and get the record here from Houndstooth.

When you cite your influences as artists like Mazzy Star, Scott Walker, Nick Cave, Julee Cruise, This Mortal Coil, Leyland Kirby, and David Lynch, you've pretty much assured that i'm going to give your work a good, long listen.  And so we have "Penelope Two," the sophomore release from UK artist Penelope Trappes.  Her influences serve her well too, the record existing in some kind of melancholy ethereal dream state.  It's an almost overwhelming intoxicating listen.  Check out "Maeve" below and get the record here via Houndstooth.
