Pleased to Meet You: The Pennys

Okay, so I’ve admittedly met the Pennys before, but just in different acts. The new project is made up of Mike Ramos (Tony Jay/Cindy) and Ray Seraphin aka RE Seraphin; we’ve been covering the two in various ways for years, and it seems impossible to me that the two are just now getting together. Mike’s soft-spoken performance seems the perfect counterbalance to Ray’s penchant for pop, and their first single feels timeless, like you’re all set to just get carried away. Whether it’s the gentle guitar lines or the way Mike and Ray wrap their voices around one another, there’s this undeniable collection that feels like they were meant to write songs together. The Pennys self-titled EP will be out this Spring via Mt. St. Mtn.
