Paris-based Pencey Sloe seemingly came out of nowhere only two years ago, which is hard to believe listening to their rich, elegant songs. Born out of a casual exchange of ideas between guitarist, singer and main composer Diane Pellotieri, lead guitarist Valentin Beaucourt and drummer Clément Aulnois, the threesome's music reflects a distinctly original spin on shoegaze and dream pop.
With somnambulistic certainty and a name harking back to American novelist J.D. Salinger, the trio creates soundscapes of beautifully psychedelic color with some darker tinges that urge you to glimpse into your own inner abyss. Diane and her fellows craft songs with both youthful abandon and astounding maturity. There is a particular deftness in Pencey Sloe's harmonic interplay between jangling guitars and the front woman's angelic voice, all held together by infectiously straight drumming.
After recording a demo EP and performing just a few shows on their home turf, Pencey Sloe quickly came onto the radar of Prophecy Productions, who immediately recognized the band's vast potential. Diane says with regards to the signing, "We are thankful to be part of the Prophecy family. We adore their devotion and true passion for different music and artists, with whom they have an incredible relationship of trust and respect."
Though still a relatively new act, Pencey Sloe already have their admirers, amongst them Alcest's Stéphane "Neige" Paut, who says about his young compatriots: "I discovered Pencey Sloe when they released their EP and instantly fell in love with their dark, ethereal sound. I think they are one of the most promising French bands, and their music will surely appeal to fans of Slowdive, Low or Chelsea Wolfe."
Pencey Sloe just recorded their first album, "Don't Believe, Watch Out", at Drudenhaus Studio (Alcest, Les Discrets), to be released later in 2019. In anticipation, the first single, 'Lust Of The Dead', is now available digitally.
