Earlier this year her third long player, Too True, dropped on Sub Pop. The album has a bit of a retro '90s alt-rock vibe to it. This is reinforced by Penny’s name checking Siouxsie & the Banshees, Suede and Stone Roses as sources of inspiration behind her latest effort. It is not hard to imagine any of the songs from Too True on a playlist from MTV’s 120 Minutes back in the early '90s. Despite the distinct nostalgia the album is overflowing with ambitious pop bravado. Powerful hooks with occasional nods to a Phil Spector-style wall of sound gives enough gravitas to the Dum Dum Girls' overall sound to hint towards a dramatic and endearing live show
