We recently had the amazing opportunity to finally check out the very anticipated new album “Penelope” from Bay Area indie rock group Small Crush via Asian Man Records

You can listen to “Penelope” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

First we much apologize for not getting our review out sooner but, we became so enthralled with the record we simply lost track of time .

We knew in our hearts the new record was going to be amazing because, we were absolutely over the moon leading up to the release of “Penelope “ We had the singles, “5”,”Ecosystem “ and “Rumblin Tummy” on such a constant rotation, we almost wore out our repeat button.

The songs on “Penelope” feel like a like a journey where you experience the wonders and joys of life , while reexamining your past all at once .

The genius of Small Crush is they skillfully craft songs that stay with you long after the music has ended .

As the album rolls on, listeners will encounter meandering tracks like “Falling,” and “Running,” embarking on a journey from bittersweet nostalgia or heartache to the saccharine, summery vibes and indie-punk fluorescence of “Be Back Soon” and “This Time Around.” Penelope is equal parts innocence and keenly perceptive philosophical musings. “Penelope, a name I called everything I could when I was little,” explains frontwoman Logan Hammon, “is filled with mixed emotions of growing out of childhood and figuring out who you are along the way. I hope it brings reflection and comfort to anyone who listens to know they aren’t alone in their feelings.”

Small Crush (lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist Logan Hammon, lead guitarist Jackson Felton, drummer Allen Moreno, and bassist Joey Chavez. ) work beautifully together to create stunning melodies coupled with flawless vocals .

Small Crush will also soon be embarking on tour supporting Jeff Rosenstock in November and December. details below.
