Penny Ikinger presents her debut album Electra
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electra is an audacious production.
Penny Ikinger mixes heavy rock and electronic distortion layers with folk refrains and pop delights.
Known for her career as a guitarist with Australian acts WET TAXIS & LOUIS TILLETT, Ikinger has also played with other Australian legends like KIM SALMON & TEX PERKINS.
She now takes the stand as a singer/songwriter - a lone star.
This outstanding debut is released on CD on the American label CAREER RECORDS and deluxe gatefold vinyl on BANG! RECORDS, Spain.
Electra has excited reviewers across Australia, the USA and beyond. CAREER RECORDS is the brainchild of the legendary Radio Birdman guitarist DENIZ TEK and Montana based music guru RON SANCHEZ.

“All woman and all business - the Australian singer-guitarist - a graduate of the
Radio Birdman school of axe warfare- unveils a fetching line of balladry here:
black-hearted folk song draped in fuzz, topped with a dark, baby-doll
whisper...imagine Nico channelling Sandy Denny in front of Blue Oyster Cult - and
you're close”.
David Fricke, Senior Editor, Rolling Stone (USA), Nov 2003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electra features ten tracks produced by Penny Ikinger and Hothouse engineer CRAIG HARNATH.
Electra has received accolades world-wide. Critics from the prestigious New York magazines The Village Voice and The Big Takeover placed Electra in their Top Ten albums of 2003 (#2 for both).
Electra also appeared in more Top Ten lists in America, Canada and Australia.
Ikinger was awarded an International Touring Grant from Arts Victoria and toured the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to promote her album in 2004.

"…combining a dangerously seductive voice with a guitar she
makes sound so alive it breathes…"
Fred E Gostein, City Search (Australia)
