Penelope Isles – “I Loved You, Robert Pattinson”

Declan Haughian

What a year for Robert Pattinson! I thought he was sensational as a wormy little fuck in The Drama, and we're a few days away from seeing him as Antinous in The Odyssey. Later in the year, he'll pop up in Dune: Part Three, and he'll also play Chris Hansen, alongside a debuting Phoebe Bridgers, in Primetime. Also! He and Denzel Washington are the leads of the Fernando Meirelles bank-robbery picture Here Comes The Flood. On top of all of that, Penelope Isles have a new song about how they loved him. That's pretty good, too!

Brighton indie rockers Penelope Isles, the duo of siblings Lily and Jack Wolter, are about to return with their new album 3, and we've already posted the pretty lead single "Thinking Seat." Today, they share "I Loved You, Robert Pattinson," a woozy and expansive new track that sprawls beautifully over nearly six woolly minutes. Lily Wolter sings about the Pattinson poster that used to stare out from her wall back in the Twilight era. I like it, and I bet Pattinson will also like it when he hears it. You already know he's going to hear it.

Penelope Isles shot their own video, which mostly footage of them recording the new album. Check it out below.

3 is out 9/25 on Bella Union.
