The release of Penelope Three in 2021 marked the final instalment of Trappes’ quietly mesmerising, acclaimed trilogy. The artist spent 2016 writing and recording what would become Penelope One in a small piano studio in East London. Composed of mostly percussionless, reverb-heavy, haunting atmospherics with dystopian themes, the LP was released via Optimo Music in 2017. Penelope signed to the Houndstooth label and released her second album ‘Penelope Two’ in 2018, a minimalist album built around field recordings, meditations, guitars, piano and reverb, which deals with mortality, predestination and empathy. 2019 saw the release of ‘Penelope Redeux’ consisting of reworks of songs from ‘Penelope Two’ by uncompromising artists, including Cosey Fanni Tutti, Mogwai, Félicia Atkinson and Nik Colk Void. The 'Eel Drip' EP was released in 2020 and Penelope Three, the final epigenetic-themed instalment of the trilogy, was released in May 2021 with a long string of UK tourdates, culminating in a live performance with the London Contemporary Orchestra at London’s Sounthbank Centre. 'Mother’s Blood', a vocal-free meditative reinterpretation of 'Penelope Three' was released on cassette at the end of that year. In 2023 Penelope started her own experimental cassette imprint, Nite Hive - launching with 'Heavenly Spheres' “Summoning the great ghosts of vintage 4AD and Kranky, the Australian singer and producer makes inky dream pop that’s as heavy and welcoming as a weighted blanket.” - Philip Sherburne (Pitchfork)
