British sibling duo Penelope Isles (Lily and Jack Wolter) have announced a new album, 3, and shared its lead single, “Thinking Seat,” via a music video. The fittingly titled 3 is the Brighton-based band’s third album and is due out September 25 via Bella Union. Check out “Thinking Seat” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art.

The new album follows 2021’s Which Way to Happy and 2019’s Until the Tide Creeps In. Not only has it been five years since Penelope Isles’ last album, it’s also been three years since their last live show. In that time, the duo have been busy with solo projects—Jack with Cubzoa and Lily with My Precious Bunny (who released A Moment in My Eyes in May; read our review of it here). Jack also toured with CMAT on guitar.

“Penny Isles is such a big part of our personalities,” says Jack in a press release. “So it was about time we got back to it.”

The album features Joe Taylor on drums and was recorded live in the studio, at Black Bay Studio on the Isle of Lewis off Scotland’s northwest coast. Prior to that, the album was written on a monthlong surf trip to Lagos, Portugal.
