Penthouse

by Luna

The 1040th greatest album of all time

Penthouse, released in 1995, is Luna's early full-length that refines Dean Wareham's cool, conversational vocal style into a spacious, nocturnal form of indie rock. The album blends chiming, reverb-tinged guitars and understated rhythms with a touch of lounge and chamber pop influence, emphasizing melodic arrangements and literate, urbane lyrics. It showcases a smoother, more polished sound compared with Wareham's earlier work while retaining a dreamy, intimate atmosphere.
