Backwater Collage . 2024
Penny Arcade
Backwater Collage is the first solo album from West country born indie musician James Hoare, under the guise of Penny Arcade. Emboldened by the years of honing his craft in acts like Veronica Falls and Ultimate Painting, Penny Arcade combines haunting, unadorned arrangements, brimming with the melodic instinct of The Jesus and Mary Chain, with the bewitching chemical reaction between Hoare’s voice and the soothing vocals of Natalia Bruno.
