  • Bio

    Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Penelopes. Friends since birth and raised practically as brothers, Axel Basquiat and Vincent T (for it is they) hail from Paris and make the kind of sun-kissed, effortless electro-tinged indie anthems that belie the fact that they're musical upbringing was based almost completely on British bands such as The Cocteau Twins and New Order. Born in the north of Paris, in the same apartment block, they didn't really 'meet', they've just always known each other. "It was like a brother, you never say 'oh, I met him at one or two'. I've always lived with or near Axel. It's very strange and rare" explains Vincent.
