Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Penthouse' is the definitively smooth, incredibly stylish peak of Luna's jangle-pop and alternative rock sound. Dean Wareham's louche vocals glide over deeply warm, mellow dream pop guitars, providing a soft, soothing, and highly nocturnal soundtrack to urban summer excess.
