It openly declares the duo&#8217;s influences, which include the likes of Cocteau Twins, David Bowie, Nick Cave, and Iggy Pop. The influence of the last two is especially clear in Axel&#8217;s gravelly vocals, while the &#8220;spacey&#8221; synths very much seem inspired by Bowie.<\/div>\n<div>[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Penelopes have made their name with their remixes of the music of Lana Del Rey, Pet Shop Boys, and Alt-J, among others, and have moved on to composing music for film.<\/p>\n<p>[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lead track, &#8216;Mulholland Drive&#8217;, channels Nick Cave and could easily fit into the soundtrack of the David Lynch film of the same name, and elicits a feeling of sadness and hopelessness, which should be at odds with the uptempo instrumentals, but nonetheless works perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Leave Them All Behind (Deluxe Edition)&#8217; is available to stream on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7gr7krdUXR8QIRC79VTRJs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/thepenelopes\/sets\/leave-them-all-behind-deluxe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundcloud<\/a>.
