The single is the latest project of Sweetwood, the[…]
“Gravel Mouth” is one of those songs that make the time run slower when you put them on headphones: the sparse piano and guitar lines, the subtle beat and minimal electronics let Penelope Trappes’ voice lure you into some fantastic world in your mind. Penelope just released her debut album[…]
