Q MagazineJul 30, 2019Throughout the songs share a similar colour palette, but vary in tone, texture, technique. It's the sound of a band enjoying the discovery of their sound. [Sep 2019, p.115]

Jul 12, 2019Until The Tide Creeps In is a record totally out of step with any modern music scene, and all the more timeless and special for it.

Jul 11, 2019While there's a mercurial effect to Until the Tide Creeps In at least partly due to its songwriters writing separately, common tendencies, artful execution, and a melancholy dreaminess tie it all together, like a novel that's consistently compelling as it moves through multiple perspectives.

Jul 15, 2019Though it needn't define them, with Until The Tide Creeps In Penelope Isles have built a strong foundation on familial dynamics and the criss-crossing of sibling perspectives with elegant and catchy songwriting, springboarding them in to the many sets of arms ready to welcome them.

Jul 10, 2019Until the Tide Creeps In isn’t that; nor is it a mawkish trip down memory lane. Instead, it’s an album of reconciliation, an opportunity for Jack and Lily to make sense of their youth spanning into their adulthood.

UncutJul 10, 2019A little more zip wouldn't go amiss. [Aug 2019, p.36]

Jul 10, 2019Standout tracks "Chlorine" and "Round" start the album off strong, but the downside is that the rest of the album feels drawn out, with more valleys than peaks. If you're not actively listening to each track, it can feel like the album is a long interlude that fades into the background.
