Penelope Isles air new track 'Terrified' • News • DIY Magazine

Ahead of the release of new album ‘Which Way To Happy’ on 5th November, Penelope Isles are giving us the latest taste of what to expect, airing new track ‘Terrified’.

As frontman Jack Wolter explains, “It’s about those days when you’re dying inside but have to pop out to the shop, bumping into someone, having to put on a magic show, pretending to appear that everything is OK. It’s a song that has such a happy-fun-summery exterior but lyrically is totally the opposite. It’s one of self-doubt, displacement and finding something really terrifying to handle. Sometimes we hide a lot behind ourselves. ‘Terrified’ was an outlet for me to be able to tackle scary thoughts and worries in more of an abstract way. Things can seem impossible to talk about and articulate sometimes. I feel that making this album has enabled me and my sister Lily to open up a lot more and be honest with our songs as it just makes them so much more real.”
