Penfriend – Black Car (My Big Sister Records) 
Release Date: Out Now
This is the third single from
Laura Kidd under her new moniker of Penfriend and ‘Black Car’ is her most
reflective piece yet whilst still retaining the future-apocalyptic vibe of previous
single. “Remember the summer when everyone stayed at home, ships in a bottle
stacked up with our lives on hold” is the opening couplet and if that doesn’t
resonate with, well, everyone I don’t know what will. The melodies sway between
lo-fi electro and expansive soundtrack worthy epicness while the video sees
Penfriend wondering around a drained estuary with Muse levels of paranoia. The
fears for the future and despair about the present could put some people off but
when it’s paired with great melodies and moody, pulsing beats it is hard to
resist getting drawn in.
