"This is some seriously danceable music. Likely taking a cue or two from like-minded contemporaries Dopplereffekt and Miss Kittin, tHe pEneLOpe[s] have made an album that combines the spaciness of the Cocteau Twins and New Order with the heady beats and dripping, ominous vocals of KMFDM. ... Every track, from the sound-collagey (and thoroughly enjoyable) 'Your Plan for Happiness' to the rock anthem 'Circle of Seasons' fairly hums with energy. Even though tHe pEneLOpe[s] adhere to many of the stylistic mores of other Euro-dance outfits, their frosty, robotic edge makes them stand out from all the other masked auteurs of the dancefloor." --AllMusic.com

Mystical, ridiculous, deranged and sublime, the comical teases the sincere in this intergalactic adventure to the raucous epicenter of an ass-shaped planet. A close collaboration between brothers Dylan and Nathan Germick, this ambitious debut is their first attempt to fuse Dylan’s soulful theatrics and instinctual funkiness with Nathan’s epic and introspective productions. Several years in the making, the shrapnel of obliterated genres orbit around this mutant hybrid like space junk in an alien universe that defies logic, but somehow still makes sense.

Dylan Trees is a Los Angeles-based collective of like-minded musicians centered around British singer-songwriter Jeremy Simon. Some days it's one man and a ukulele. Other days it's a room full of girls and boys hitting the same cymbal and humming four-part harmony. It sounds both ancient and modern. In October 2008, Dylan Trees released the Charlie Horse EP on indie New York label Mother West. Produced by Charles Newman (The Magnetic Fields), it is a righteous cacophony of classic British psych-folk with distinct undertones of Americana.
