Moon Panda reveal new single ‘Penny’ from their third album Dumb Luck
Dream pop quartet Moon Panda have unveiled their latest single ‘Penny,’ a defiant track with a personality all her own, ahead of their third album Dumb Luck, due out September 26 via Moon Panda/Virgin Music Group.
‘Penny’ arrives as the fourth preview of the new record, showcasing the band’s evolving sound. Recorded largely in vocalist Maddy Myers’ and guitarist Gustav Moltke’s home studio, with bassist/keyboardist George Godwin producing and Josh Cabitac on drums, the track was later polished with producer Adam Thein (Djo). The result is a song that distills Moon Panda’s dreamy sensibilities with sharper edges, adding new depth to their already expansive sound.
Discussing ‘Penny,’ and her many personality quirks, vocalist Maddy Myers notes:
“This one has had so many lives! It started kind of Beatles-y and then went real heavy like Pixies meets Tame Impala, which was so fun to play, but ultimately we chilled it out. I don’t know who Penny is but damn, she’s trouble.”
With its winding evolution and playful yet assertive spirit, ‘Penny’ showcases Moon Panda’s ability to transform life’s transitions into captivating soundscapes, offering a glimpse of the emotional richness awaiting listeners on Dumb Luck.
