Mysteries for Rats

Penelope Scott

Sharp, piano-led vignettes of digital-age disillusionment. A more patient, atmospheric evolution of the biting bedroom pop that defined her early work.

November 17, 2023 · Not On Label (Penelope Scott Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A cold, hyper-articulate exhaustion that finds a strange beauty in digital decay.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the sparse piano of Sin Eater into its sudden, glitchy electronic breakdown.
The way Cemetery Pigeons stretches into a six-minute meditation, letting the silence between notes carry as much weight as the lyrics.
The biting precision of the opening lines in Gross, delivered with a signature lack of affect that makes the critique cut deeper.
